CANCELED: Institute for Engineering in Medicine BioSciTech Symposium
The BioSciTech Symposium is part of IEM’s Innovation Week and will explore the frontiers between engineering, biological science, and biotechnology through academic talks and collaborative activities. We will hear from thought leaders in Immune Engineering, Cancer Bioengineering, Species Cryopreservation, Regenerative Medicine, and Genome Engineering, and we will build new relationships with potential collaborators through small group activities, Bodystorming (see here), and social events.
REGISTER HERE!
Register no later than Friday, March 27, 2020
