Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The 2018 Annual Stakeholders Summit was held at the University of Pittsburgh on Tuesday, July 10th through Wednesday, July 11th. The event brought together key stakeholders of the Michigan-Pittsburgh-Wyss Regenerative Medicine Resource Center and captured a two-day program of presentations, panel discussions and interactive dialogue on leading the way in the development of dental, oral and craniofacial technologies. The summit included Interdisciplinary Translational Project (ITP) reviews, practicum sessions led by experts in market assessment, technology commercialization and quality control and management and an intimate discussion focused on entrepreneurship for academic innovators. In addition to the formal presentations, participants were provided many opportunities to network and discuss the advancement of their innovations while enjoying the amenities on the University of Pittsburgh’s suburban campus.
