With the development of smarter medical devices and more effective novel therapies, convergent technologies are fast becoming the future of biotech. In response to this changing trend, Cornell is strengthening its emphasis on the convergence of its academic disciplines. Currently, interdisciplinary research is at its strongest point in Cornell's history, with relationships growing across all university units and beyond, including Engineering, the College of Veterinary Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical Center, and Cornell's long-time partner, Hospital for Special Surgery.
Please join us for an inspiring evening, as we chart the future of the industry, and explore the groundbreaking work Cornell is doing at the interface of biology, medicine, and engineering.
