About
We are delighted to announce the debut of UMN BME-Industry Grand Rounds, a new monthly event series that deepens the connection between the University of Minnesota Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Twin Cities’ thriving health technology industry.
Through these virtual events, local engineers, scientists, faculty, and trainees will share knowledge about critical biomedical engineering topics. Each talk features at least one presenter from our department and one from a local company.
We hope you can join us! We encourage you to keep an eye on the UMN BME-Industry Grand Rounds webpage for upcoming talks, and help spread the word among those within and outside of the University. All are welcome!
