S8: E2 | Translational BioTech Research: Leading Edge Tech

Big Easy Ideas

Translational research seeks to bring advances made in the laboratory to patients. This panel looks at not only the "how and why" of scientific discovery, but also "how and who" of product development. Professionals, doctors, and researchers whose scientific discoveries exist on this exciting border between the laboratory and the patient bedside are sure to help you understand the current state of the field and how they drive impact in our world.
This season is brought to you by our partners at the Tulane University Innovation Institute!
