MA universities were challenged to rapidly create and expand highly reliable testing operations from the ground up when COVID-19 hit. What did we learn from their speedy, successful response to the emergency? How can universities contribute solutions to health security crises in their communities and beyond?

 

In this free event leading up to MALSI+ Day, you will:

  • Learn how UMass Amherst and Boston University created resources to crack the problem of COVID-19 testing
  • Learn about the potential for universities to function as critical infrastructure and contribute to resiliency in future health emergencies
  • Meet fellow scientific innovators, entrepreneurs, business leaders and investors in the life science space in small group conversations.
