Project Prana Overview:

Project Prana Foundation (PPF), a registered 501(c)(3), was founded by Prof. Shriya Srinivasan (assistant professor, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences) to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and spur innovation from classroom to clinic.

Its two wings, Prana Innovation Institute and Prana Innovation Network, provide education/mentorship opportunities that facilitate innovations to reach clinical settings, respectively.
