The event will open with luncheon plenary keynote talks by nationally recognized industry leaders. In the afternoon, collaboration sessions will take place for IEM faculty members and industrial colleagues to discuss research collaboration opportunities relating to Cardiovascular Engineering, Neuroengineering, Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, Medical and Biological Imaging, and Medical Devices. From mid-afternoon, there will also be a poster session highlighting research of IEM faculty members and their groups included in the program.
The retreat and conference shall offer rich opportunities for participants to develop interdisciplinary collaborations between health sciences and engineering, and form teams of collaborators responding to federal/external funding opportunities.
