The Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP), an FDA-funded pediatric medical device accelerator centered at Lurie Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, is pleased to announce a partnership with CobiCure to establish The CobiCure Fellowship for MedTech Innovation. The goals of the fellowship are to:
Fellows will spend 12 months embedded within the CTIP team at Lurie Children’s, engaged in the following activities:
The CobiCure Fellow at Lurie will have a focus on data science and AI/ML applications in medical devices. We are specifically interested in fellows who already have technical skills in these areas who are looking to accelerate their careers into healthcare and MedTech innovation. The Fellow will be under the direct supervision and mentorship of Dr. Juan Espinoza, CTIP Director, Chief Research Informatics Officer at Lurie Children’s Hospital, and Associate Director of the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Data Science at Northwestern University. Fellows will receive mentorship, education, and collaboration from several areas across Lurie Children’s, including:
In 2024, fellows may start as early as March 1st, 2024, but must start no later than July 1st, 2024. The fellowship will end June 30th, 2025. Regardless of start date, all applications are due Monday, February 19th, 2024. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. The application process includes:
Our team will review all materials, and select applicants will be invited for virtual interviews. We aim to extend an offer within 2 weeks of completing interviews. Start dates can be flexible to accommodate transition planning.
If you or someone you know is interested, apply today!

The Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP) is a pediatric medical device accelerator based at Lurie Children’s Hospital and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Established in 2011 and first funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Pediatric Device Consortia (PDC) grant program in 2013, CTIP promotes the commercialization and clinical use of pediatric medical device technology. CTIP has since received PDC awards in 2018 and again in 2023 to continue research and development of MedTech for children (Grant Number: P50FD007963, PI: Espinoza). CTIP addresses the most important component missing from pediatric device innovation: simultaneously engaging clinicians, engineers, regulators, hospital administrators, patients and the business community in the process of assessment and development of technology. CTIP’s network of children’s hospitals, academic institutions, accelerators, and incubators includes 26 organizations across 8 states.
