Industry Affiliates

The AIMI Affiliates Program provides a structure for industry to engage effectively with our Center. Corporate members have an extraordinary opportunity to inform, influence, and collaborate on research projects. The program provides unrestricted support for AIMI’s research, teaching, and administrative activities and emphasizes two-way communication for the exchange of knowledge and excitement.

Industrial collaborators are the most important path to commercialization of research at scale to achieve societal impact. Collaborations among companies, faculty, and graduate students provide everyone with valuable insights on opportunities, problems, and solutions. AIMI works closely with healthcare and information technology companies to enhance early detection, reduce diagnostic errors, select appropriate treatment, and improve patient care.
