Surgery and Biodesign Demo Night
Surgery and Biodesign Demo Night is an evening exploring how technology is reshaping medicine on two fronts: how surgery is learned, planned and performed, and how new medical devices are designed. Through interactive demonstrations, short presentations, and a moderated panel, attendees will discover emerging technologies and research at the intersection of medicine, engineering, and innovation.
