Academy of Innovation

New for the 2009 ICI Meeting: The Academy
of Innovation! December 6th, 2009

A satellite sponsored by an unrestricted
educational grant from medtronic2


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.
