MPWRM Resource Center Annual Stakeholders’ Summit (#2: September 2019)
September 4 – 6, 2019 | Pittsburgh, PA
Our 2nd Annual Stakeholder’s Summit was held at the University of Pittsburgh on September 4-6, 2019. Kicking off with a regulatory training session for our Interdisciplinary Translational Project (ITP) teams, the event brought together the Resource Center membership and our various stakeholders, providing an opportunity for networking and lively discussions on the advancement of regenerative medicine in the dental, oral, and craniofacial domains. The program included presentations by a guest from the FDA on FDA Submissions and Pre Submissions (see below) and the ITP teams featuring their technologies, as well as a panel discussion on entrepreneurship surrounding technologies developed by academic innovators.
A big thanks to all of the attendees for another fantastic Resource Center meeting!
