MADE at NYU Langone Health

MADE (Medtech Acceleration, Development, and Education) is a Dean’s Initiative at NYU Langone Health building a single, connected system for inventing medical technology and getting it to patients. It brings together three things that often sit apart at an academic medical center: a training program for inventors, an accelerator that moves projects toward commercialization, and the engineering capacity to actually build them.

MADE is where NYU Langone Health turns clinical insight into medical technology and clinicians into inventors.

Built on a Proven Track Record

MADE is a new initiative at NYU Langone Health, but its approach to innovation education is not. Since 2024, the Department of Surgery’s Medtech Pipeline Program has supported multiple cohort teams in developing mentored innovation projects across surgical specialties. Each cohort culminates in a competitive pitch event, where teams seek funding to advance their ideas. MADE expands that model into a larger, more ambitious program that draws on the insights of experienced industry leaders alongside clinical and academic expertise. MADE launches with an approach that has already been tested and refined at NYU Langone, reinforcing the institution’s readiness to lead in clinician-driven innovation.

The Three Pillars of MADE

Education

A flagship fellowship and a broader set of training programs that teach medical technology innovation as a learnable discipline.

Acceleration

A pipeline that moves NYU Langone-originated projects toward commercialization, with mentorship, seed funding, and commercial expertise.

Translation

Engineering, prototyping, and preclinical capacity, where concepts become physical devices that can be tested.

Why NYU Langone

Clinical scale and breadth: Great medical technology starts with correctly identifying an unmet clinical need. NYU Langone offers patient volume, case diversity, and multi-campus clinical range in the largest healthcare market in the country.

Data and AI: While MADE’s training centers on medical device innovation, the program aligns closely with NYU Langone’s institutional strengths in data and AI and welcomes device projects that incorporate these strengths.

The institution backs what it originates: Projects that start here get real support and investment from here, rather than being handed off.

Everything under one roof: Training, funding, engineering, and a commercialization pathway in one connected program rather than four disconnected efforts.
