About Us

Rice 360° works in partnership with communities throughout the world to design and implement low-cost, high-performance technologies that prevent disease, improve health, and reduce poverty. Some solutions come in the form of complex new technologies developed by Rice’s leading faculty in nanoscience and bioengineering. Other solutions may be low-cost technologies or programs designed and immediately implemented by undergraduates.

Rice 360°’s activities focus on:

• Developing appropriate science and technology platforms
• Promoting the commercialization and distribution of new technologies
• Training students to lead in solving the challenges of global health and poverty
