​From Bench to Business: Neurotech Entrepreneurship for Early Career Researchers.

​Designed to catalyze conversations, this event connects early career researchers, postdocs, and junior PIs with founders, operators, and mentors building in neurotech.

​Come hang out at this casual event that will help you initiate conversations, meet potential collaborators, and find the people who have already taken the step you're considering.

​Whether you are in a lab or building a company, we share a unique bond: navigating the rigors of an advanced degree, driving complex projects, and defending the work under pressure. Let's swap stories and strategies over a drink.

​A special thank you to #SfN for selecting this event and providing our space.
