GRO-Biotech Events — Week of 6/16
Here are the latest events and opportunities, in the life sciences and beyond!
Wednesday, 6/18 How to Apply Your Skills to Biotech: Automation. As AI and lab automation revolutionize scientific research—from robotic liquid handlers and automated cell imaging to AI-driven drug discovery and predictive modeling—they’re also transforming how we train and grow the biotech workforce. Join Genspace and Dr. Kennedy McDaniel Bae for a seminar on the intersection of biotechnology, automation, and education. Whether you're a student, educator, researcher, or science enthusiast, this is a timely conversation about the evolving nature of scientific work and the future of inclusive, tech-forward training in the life sciences.
Friday, 6/20 French American Innovation Day: Bridging Health Innovation. The French American Innovation Day (FAID) is an annual symposium aimed at fostering collaboration between France and the USA in innovation and research, organized by the Office for Science and Technology of the French Embassy. The French American Innovation Day will showcase the dynamic landscape of health innovation, focusing on key themes such as onco-immunology, gene therapy and brain and cognition.
(NEW!) Tuesday, 6/24 Weill Cornell Medicine Biomedical Innovation Challenge. Join the Weill Cornell Medicine community in celebrating the culmination of the Biomedical Innovation Challenge — a premier, faculty-focused program advancing translational science and commercialization. Over the course of this highly competitive 10-week program, participating teams engaged in expert-led seminars covering key elements of biomedical commercialization, including market and industry analysis, intellectual property strategy, R&D planning, regulatory pathways, business modeling, budgeting and fundraising, among other critical disciplines. Each team was also paired with experienced industry mentors to help shape their commercialization strategies and investor-ready pitches. The evening will begin with live presentations from the finalist teams, followed by judging from a distinguished panel of venture capital and industry leaders who will select the winning pitches.
Friday & Saturday, 10/3-10/4 2nd Annual NY BCI Symposium. Following up on a stellar inaugural conference last fall, BCI’s leading minds and most exciting emerging startups will once again descend on the New York Academy of Medicine for two days of panels, presentations, and networking, all with the mission of advancing and expanding the brain-computer interface space. With NYC increasingly becoming the center stage for this technology revolution, this is a can’t-miss event for anyone working in neurotech, AI/ML, medtech, and beyond.
