CBI-CRIN Industry Day
The UCSD Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Chemistry-Biology Interfaces training program (CBI), and Cancer Researchers in Nanotechnology (CRIN) training program are sponsoring another industry interaction day. Our goal with the CBI-CRIN Industry Day is to enhance the interaction between our PhD students and postdoctoral associates with our colleagues in industry. The theme for this event is speakers primarily selected from biotech, pharm, and nanotech fields. The event will be held on Friday, June 22, 2018. The program will include talks by industrial scientists, lightning talks by doctoral students, and a panel discussion to provide advice to our graduate students on how to pursue a career in industry.
Date: June 22, 2018
Time: 11am - 6pm
Location: NSB
