Technology Watch Seminar: Tissue Engineering
for Industry/Academia/Clinicians
Perspectives on emerging technologies (panel and discussion)
Room 120 Busch Campus Center
March 14, 2008, 2:30-4:00 pm

NJIT, Princeton, Rutgers and UMDNJ are sponsoring a series of "Technology Watch" Seminars”, whose purpose is to bring together a diverse group of researchers around a focused area to discuss their research, latest trends, and form linkages with each other to stimulate collaboration. Our goal is to present a diversity of approaches to the field of tissue engineering, whether that be in terms of specific products, or emerging technologies, or promising research directions.

Tissue engineering with a focus on wound healing is the topic of the first seminar, organized in coordination with the 5th Annual New Jersey Biomedical Engineering Showcase. http://bmeshowcase.rutgers.edu/sponsors.htm
