The Caro Alumni Lecture & Bioengineering Industry Showcase

This autumn, the Department of Bioengineering is launching the first-ever Caro Alumni Lecture alongside our Bioengineering Industry Showcase.

These two events shine a spotlight on the translational impact of our research and the innovative spin-outs that have grown from our department. The industry showcase is a unique opportunity to connect with industry partners, discover entrepreneurial success stories, and highlight the breadth of collaborations happening within Bioengineering.

To make the most of the showcase event, we need your help. If you have industry contacts who should be part of the showcase, or if you yourself have a spin-out company that you would like to celebrate and exhibit, please complete our Industry Connections & Showcase Interest Form for academic staff or the form for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and alumni so we can extend invitations to them.
