The workshop on "Convergence of IP, Tech Transfer, and Translation, for Medical Robotics Research", is a half-day workshop at the International Symposium on Medical Robotics (2019 ISMR). It will be held in Room 1118, Marcus Nanotechnology Building from 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM.
The objective of this workshop is to explore models used by labs researching medical robotics and other fields of biomedical engineering, in bringing their research to market. The workshop will explore patenting, commercialization procedures and hurdles faced, particularly in making biomedical devices and medical robotics accessible to hospitals across the world.
