The Amplitude Fellowship 2026 is now officially seeking applications from outstanding PhD candidates, post-docs, and MDs ready to transition from the lab to the boardroom.
This highly selective program targets scientific minds who want to stay rooted in health and life sciences while exploring their creative potential as entrepreneurs.
Participants will step away from traditional academia to discover how intriguing scientific observations can be transformed into broad platforms with lasting impacts on human health.
By challenging their perspectives, fellows are encouraged to generate “big ideas” that address the most pressing needs in modern healthcare.
Working at the cutting edge of biotech, fellows will collaborate directly with leaders from the Amplitude Ventures fund and their biotech venture creation studio, Pre-Amp. This partnership allows fellows to conduct a series of in-depth, one-month explorations to identify and validate hypotheses for groundbreaking new companies.
The program immerses participants in the front end of a specialized three-phase company creation model.
Benefits
The fellowship is designed as a full-time commitment that runs throughout the summer, starting in late May and concluding at the end of August. This timeline allows for an intensive, immersive experience without the distractions of a typical academic semester.
In addition to gaining world-class entrepreneurial experience, all selected participants will hold a paid position.
Application requirements
Prospective fellows must hold or be currently completing a PhD, postdoc, or MD with a research focus specifically in the life sciences or healthcare.
