Thank you to all who attended the program. It was a great success.

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), in conjunction with the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh, is hosting a Fellows Roundtable on April 30, 2007 from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event will be at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

The event provides AIMBE Fellows an opportunity to gain knowledge on the public policy initiatives of AIMBE. The forum will also feature deliberations on research integrity, ethics, conflict of interest and federal funding for bioengineering. Most importantly, the event will illustrate how Fellows can advance the policy initiatives of AIMBE and how AIMBE can, in turn, better serve its members.

This event is free to AIMBE Fellows, but pre-registration is requested. To register, please email your name, organization, and phone number to jrivkin@aimbe.org.
