Meet the One Brave Idea Team
Dr. Calum MacRae, MD, PhD, Vice Chair for Scientific Innovation, Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School, and his world-renowned team were selected as the recipients of the One Brave Idea award.
About the Team
Led by Dr. Calum MacRae, MD, PhD, Vice Chair for Scientific Innovation at the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the One Brave Idea team comprises a group of investigators across a wide variety of disciplines—such as cardiology, data science, and engineering—and institutions including MIT and Stanford. Each has experience breaking down boundaries and working outside the constraints of traditional biomedical science.
The team will work out of the One Brave Idea Science Innovation Center in Boston to facilitate new techniques in a clinical context, where they will have access to a national consortium of translational scientists, engineering know-how of MIT, and the clinical device expertise of BWH’s Next Generation Phenotyping Center.
Diverse Focus, Diverse Team
To do something different, we must think differently. This means bringing together people from diverse backgrounds, diverse trainings, and diverse viewpoints. We encourage everyone—especially women and minorities—to discuss employment or collaboration opportunities. Together, we can achieve this important mission.
