Outcomes Day 2023

Friday, September 29
Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub, 123 S. Burrowes St. 

The Penn State Center for Biodevices will host the fourth annual Outcomes Day, a full-day event featuring the latest in biodevice technology research and innovation at Penn State. The day will include an industry keynote presentation, research presentations by the Center for Biodevices seed grant and Grace Woodward grant recipients, Riess Graduate Fellows, panel presentation, networking, and more!

Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to connect with members of other disciplines to ignite collaborations and further develop biodevice projects and ideas. Participants are invited to attend the full day or select individual sessions as your schedule allows.

Register now. 

Outcomes Day is sponsored by the Center for Biodevices and the College of Engineering, in collaboration with the College of Medicine. Established in 2020, the Center for Biodevices aims to bridge foundational science and clinical applications of biodevices, while enabling success of faculty, clinicians and students across multiple disciplines.
