​Held at UBC Vancouver to coincide with the LSBC Invest in BC conference, this invite-only morning event is designed for industry leaders, investors, and innovation partners seeking high-impact collaboration opportunities in biomedical engineering and the life sciences.

​Attendees will hear short, focused presentations from UBC faculty whose research is at the forefront of translation and commercialization:

​Confirmed Speakers:

• ​Dr. Megan Levings – Regulatory T cell therapies for immune tolerance and autoimmunity

• ​Dr. Anna Blakney – RNA-based vaccines, therapeutics, and biomaterials for drug delivery

• ​Dr. Nika Shakiba – Stem cell engineering, synthetic biology, and cell competition for regenerative medicine

​This is also a unique opportunity to visit the newly opened Gordon B. Shrum Building, home to SBME’s translational research labs, collaborative spaces, and bio-innovation platforms.
