UC Santa Cruz's Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells (IBSC) Announces Inaugural Industry Day
The Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells (IBSC) at UC Santa Cruz is proud to announce its inaugural Industry Day, set to take place on Thursday, May 16th, on the UC Santa Cruz campus. This pioneering event aims to bridge the gap between academia and the biotech and biomedical industries, fostering long-term collaborations and supporting the career development of graduate students and postdocs across UCSC's bioscience graduate programs.

Research poster sessions showcasing cutting-edge discoveries.
Panel discussions offering insights into various industry pathways.
Fireside chats on topics like commercialization and non-research career trajectories.
Company booths for direct engagement with the next generation of bioscience leaders.
