MEMS @ MIT Spring 2007 Meeting –

An Invitation Only Event

April 17-18, 2007 on the MIT Campus

This one-day symposium brings together academic and industrial participants to explore the opportunities and the barriers in BioMEMS. Talks will be provided by leading academic researchers in BioMEMS. In addition, we will have talks on education and innovation in BioMEMS. The event will conclude with a panel comprised of world leading BioMEMS experts coming from the venture capital, intellectual property, foundry, and start-up fields. This event is open to industrial members of MEMS@MIT as well as to our invited guests.
