Turn neuroscience into
patient-centered solutions for ADRD
Neurotech × Entrepreneurship for Alzheimer’s & related dementias
What is IMPRINT?
IMPRINT (Immersive Methods for Promoting Research & Innovation through Novel Training) empowers graduate students, postdocs, and clinician-engineers to pair cutting-edge science with entrepreneurial practice. Through immersive workshops, weekly modules, and capstone projects, scholars learn to navigate clinical needs, FDA pathways, IP and reimbtursement, product strategy, and venture storytelling, aimed squarely at impact in ADRD research and care.
This year, our inaugural 12-scholar pilot tracks every step—from immersion to capstone. Soon you’ll be able to walk alongside them: explore weekly modules and download slides, transcripts, and tools. Sign up for updates to be notified when courses go live.

Neurotech Collider Lab
IMPRINT is led by the Neurotech Collider Lab within the Bakar Bio Lab —an ecosystem connecting research, patients, and industry to translate impact at scale.
The Neurotech Collider Lab is an interdisciplinary initiative presented by the Bakar BioEnginuity Hub and Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology at UC Berkeley. It serves as a node for navigating and shaping the evolving landscape of neurotechnology through innovative approaches to collaboration and problem-solving.
