Frontiers in Medicine is Stanford Medicine’s annual marquee event. In 2025, we showcased what’s next in biomedical discovery and who’s next in line to propel advancements into the future.
Innovation doesn’t start with answers. It starts with natural curiosity, permission to not know, and a willingness to fail. Join us for a celebration of the relentless work of our faculty and trainees to ask the big questions and pursue the answers that drive innovation in the service of human health. Get an insider’s perspective on Stanford Medicine’s research ecosystem from Dean Lloyd Minor, MD, and hear about the latest in clinical care delivery from Stanford Health Care President and CEO David Entwistle.
