A satellite sponsored by an unrestricted

educational grant from

The Academy of Innovation will be dedicated to education and
training about the process of biodesign innovations.

Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to expand upon the unique skills
needed in order to develop new biomedical technologies and take the critical
first steps in invention, patenting, early prototyping and development of new concepts.
