Major Topics and Concepts

Throughout the workshop, students will apply concepts of Biofabrication, Biomanufacturing, Regenerative medicine, Regenerative manufacturing, advanced technologies, and tissue engineered medical products (TEMP). Students should have prior understanding of Biology or have already completed a Biology course prior to signing up.

Topics:
-During this weeklong workshop you will be exploring career opportunities, entrepreneurship, and the next-generation technologies that comprise the biofabrication industry!
You will be working with the members of your team to:
– Identify a real-world medical problem that can be addressed with the science of regenerative medicine.
– Conceive a product for a tissue engineered medical product (TEMP) that addresses the problem.
– Quantify the problem to highlight a need for the product you conceive, then design a business model to define finances and promotion of your product.
– Explain your problem, product, and business model concept before a judging panel in a 3-4 minute pitch deck presentation.
