For health tech and life science startups, two questions come early: does the FDA regulate the product, and which federal healthcare rules apply to the business model?

Join the Center for Technology Licensing (CTL) for FDA & Healthcare Regulatory Considerations for Startups, the next session in the Lab to Impact series. This virtual session is for Cornell and Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, clinicians, faculty innovators and aspiring founders developing medical devices, software, AI-enabled products, therapeutics or digital health businesses.

Attendees will get an overview of:

Flexing the T-cell specification gene regulatory network for fetal versus postnatal T-cell development

The Rothenberg group studies the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for developmental lineage choice as hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into T lymphocytes. This is a complex process in which stem-cell multipotentiality is lost in steps that actually overlap with the initiation of T-cell specific differentiation events. Thus, it offers unique insights into the nature of "stem-ness" and the distinction between activation of a development program and irreversible commitment to...

Dr. Babiche Heil, Staff Veterinarian at the University of California Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine, will speak as part of the CoRe Seminar Series with her talk, "The mare’s uterine microbiome as an indicator of fertility: Advances and clinical applications."
