Join us on Friday, May 7, 2027, at the University of Oregon’s Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact in Eugene, Oregon.
The 2027 Oregon Bioengineering Symposium will bring together students, researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders from across Oregon and the surrounding region to explore the journey of biomedical engineering innovations from discovery to real-world application. The theme highlights the pathways that move research beyond the lab—from intellectual property and technology development to commercialization and clinical implementation—ultimately translating scientific discoveries into solutions that improve patient care and outcomes.
Symposium highlights include
- Sharing innovative research in biomedical engineering and allied areas
- Fostering collaboration across disciplines and sectors
- Bringing diverse professionals together in the common theme of science and engineering serving society
- Assisting participants in planning their academic and industrial careers
Join us for a day of knowledge-sharing, innovation, and partnership as we explore how today's discoveries can become tomorrow's solutions for patients.
