Medicine by Design symposium highlights importance of convergence in regenerative medicine and human health
Researchers are poised to make unprecedented breakthroughs in human health thanks to advances in biomedical and computational sciences that have driven critical tools and technologies such as genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence.
That’s the message Dr. Victor Dzau, president of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, delivered to Medicine by Design’s fifth annual symposium on Dec. 7 and 8.
The virtual event, which attracted more than 500 registrants from across North America, focused on the theme of better science through convergence – the integration of approaches from engineering, science, medicine and other fields to expand knowledge and spark innovation.
