ObjectiveTo expose aspiring technopreneurs to the latest

tools and techniques for efficient need

identification, concept generation and practical

implementation of ideas into a functional

prototype. Approach

This workshop is the first one in a series on

innovation and management. The workshop

consists of lectures and guided team-based

exercises followed by demos of rapid

prototyping tools. Participants will be grouped

by the organizer in teams and will concentrate

on multidisciplinary (engineering / science /

medical / business) teamwork.

SynopsisThe first 2 days of the workshop aims to

provide an accelerated overview of the

Biodesign Process: a systematic and design-

thinking approach to needs validation,

invention and implementation of new

biomedical technologies.

Through executing case studies based onreal-world clinical needs, the workshop will

help participants appreciate the needs

identification/ validation phases as well as

the concept generation/selection phases of 

the Biodesign Process. 

The last 2 days of the workshop on

electronic & mechanical rapid prototyping

will complement the above sessions.

Outcomes• Knowledge in need and concept

screening (to minimize the risk in

high-tech ventures)

• Familiarity with rapid prototyping

tools (taking a concept to the level of 

a fully functional prototype)

• Forming a network of experts and

possible co-founders in future new

ventures.

• An official certificate of completion.

Target AudienceProfessional engineers, medical doctors,

academics, scientists, graduate & final

year undergraduate students, all

welcome!

Ruey Feng Peh, B.Eng.,

Fellowship Head for the Singapore-

Stanford Biodesign (SSB) Program

Ruey is an inventor on 45 US patents and

applications, and the winner of both the

Silicon Valley Boomers and the Stanford E-Challenge business plan competitions.

Currently Ruey is the Fellowship Head for

the Singapore-Stanford Biodesign (SSB)

Program, a medtech innovation training

program adapted from Stanford University.

As Fellowship Head, Ruey runs the Asian

phase of the SSB Fellowship and directs the

training program of the SSB National

University Singapore-Nanyang Technology

University Class. Concurrently, Ruey is anEntrepreneur-In-Residence for the A*STAR

towards commercialization.

 Anthony Tang, M.D.,

Stanford Biodesign Fellow 

A Specialist General Surgeon at the National University

Health System (NUHS) in Singapore, Dr. Tang is a

lecturer at the National University of Singapore.

In 2011, Dr. Tang was awarded the inaugural

Singapore-Stanford Biodesign Fellowship and is active

in the field of medical device innovation both as aninventor and as a mentor to budding entrepreneurs.

Pearline Teo, Ph.D.,

Stanford Biodesign Fellow 

A Research Fellow at the Molecular Engineering

Laboratory (A*STAR, Singapore), Dr. Teo designs next

generation DNA-based biosensors. In 2012, she was

awarded the Singapore-Stanford Biodesign

Fellowship—training in the invention and

implementation of new biomedical technologies.Pearline has a strong interest in game-changing

technologies that straddle the boundaries of Biology,

Chemistry and Engineering, and in the application of 

these tools to bench and bedside.

About SSBThe Singapore-Stanford Biodesign

(SSB) Program is a partnership

between Singapore’s Agency forScience, Technology & Research

(A*STAR), the Economic

Development Board (EDB) of 

Singapore, and Stanford University.

Modelled after the renowned

Biodesign Program from Stanford,

SSB’s mission is to train and nurture

the next generation of medical

device innovators for Singapore &

Asia.

RegistrationDue to the adopted pedagogical approach

based on teamwork, the number of 

participants is limited to 30 only. The

organizer will group the candidates in

multidisciplinary teams, ideally consisting

of persons with either technical,

management and medicine background. A

nominal fee of  RM 2500 will cover lunch,refreshments for all four days and a copy of 

the handouts.

Please bring your laptop! (Days 1  – 3)
