Hosted by a joint venture between the Office for Academic Integration, the Office of the Vice Provost for Research, and the Office of the Senior Associate Dean for Research at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), this event will feature speakers in the life, physical, engineering, and social sciences. Topics include:

The Event will consist of multiple speaker sessions over two days, with concurrent poster sessions on November 4th, and a Breakout session on November 5th. The Breakout session will be a panel-led discussion that focuses on opportunities for collaboration and the possible development of a Center grant application to the NIH.
