Summer by Design Workshop

KI has been given the opportunity to inform PhD-students at KI that they can apply to the workshop ”Summer by Design” given by University of Toronto (UofT). ​​​​​​​Dead line to apply directly to UofT to this opportunity is the 21th of February.

 

The workshop is offered by the programme Medicine by Design in partnership with The Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM), the Rotman School of Management and the Stem Cell Network.  The course is a two-week workshop that will advance the PhD-students’ understanding of how to translate and commercialize regenerative medicine research.

The workshop will take place from June 6-21, 2020, in Toronto, Canada, where stem cells were first discovered in the 1960s and a leading regenerative medicine ecosystem has developed.

Summer by Design brings together trainees from selected international regenerative medicine institutes and the University of Toronto and its affiliated hospitals, to learn from experts in clinical translation and commercialization, explore the city’s dynamic life sciences hub, and make connections with emerging researchers from around the world.

The Objectives of The Summer by Design Workshop are:  

  • Introduce a group of high-performing trainees in regenerative medicine to the breadth and depth of research, commercial and translational activities occurring in the Toronto ecosystem.
  • Develop commercial and clinical translation skills and knowledge.
  • Build a network of leaders and experts who can collaborate on future translational and commercial projects.
  • Foster an environment where innovative conversations and debate can occur and where key challenges in regenerative medicine can be tackled from multiple perspectives.
