Solving big challenges in human health and disease requires convergence—the meshing of ideas, expertise, and approaches to create innovation pathways from concept to breakthrough.
The MESH Academy is a dedicated team at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, formed to create a connective tissue across disciplines to empower convergence, and accelerate the pace of groundbreaking discoveries and their translation into revolutionary therapies.
The MESH Academy is a program jointly supported by the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the USC Office of the Provost.

MESH constitutes a spectrum of relationships across stakeholders involving shared interests and co-creating bold new innovative partnerships.
The end results will vary but the overarching goal is to widen the sphere of innovation, identify capabilities, and provide a menu of options for faculty to take their research, innovations, and entrepreneurial interests to the next level.
