UCSF-Caltech Innovation Symposium to be held November 7 at Caltech

The 6th UCSF-Caltech Innovation Symposium will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at Caltech in Pasadena. UCSF faculty across the campus are encouraged to bring innovative ideas that need technical collaboration from Caltech scientists with expertise in polymer chemistry, engineering, imaging, chemical engineering, and microfluidics. UCSF faculty will present a potential innovation to the Caltech group to form a collaborative effort designed to create a novel device or diagnostic. Initial feasibility testing would occur in the labs at Caltech, and subsequent preclinical studies would be performed at UCSF. Previous symposia have generated productive collaborations that have led to the formation of several medical device start-ups. Please contact [email protected] to learn more and register.
