Inventor Showcase Events

CCTS Translational Innovation Program produces monthly inventor showcase events to showcase inventors and their exemplary work at the intersection of academic achievement, science, team science, technology, and business to improve human health.  Each month will feature presentations by an inventor team and a resource team followed by a Q&A with the speaker panel.
