The Arizona Center for Accelerated Biomedical Innovation (ACABI) and BIO5 Institute at the University of Arizona Present the Noontime Innovation Series – Spring 2019
Please join us on the following dates for a progressive series of topics aimed at developing new lab tech:
April 19 | “Converting to Point-of-Care Devices” (Keating Rm 103)
(The previous topics covered were: Jan. 25, “Innovation as a Process, Defining the Needs, Identifying our Strengths” | Feb. 15, “Identifying Technologies, Defining Instruments and Designs” | and March 22, “Defining Uses and Applications in the Laboratory”)
Opportunities for Enhanced Laboratory Instrumentation: What are the needs?
Where can we go? How do we achieve our goals?
Diagnostics and detection are vital for basic research, science, technology, applied development, translation and clinical investigation. As such, opportunities exist for enhanced instrumentation development focusing on new analytics, new detection means, enhanced sensitivity and discrimination, data storage and telemetry, device manufacture and miniaturization.
This series of midday discussions is aimed at identifying new opportunities for advancing the development of enhanced laboratory instrumentation. This is a chance to bring cutting-edge science and engineering, ongoing at UA, into “light and discussion,” to interface with areas of application and unmet need.
It is hoped that out of these discussions new collaborative opportunities will emerge leading to student engagement, grants, translational efforts and potential commercialization opportunities.
