Prof. Cima at next MRS Lunch and Lecture, Nov. 2
Convergence of Medical Products
Professor Michael Cima
Monday, November 2
12:00pm-1:00pm (pizza and refreshments will be served at 11:40am)
The Chipman Room (6-104)
This talk will give some examples of hybrid device-drug-diagnostic products. The aim is to convince the audience that the most important aspect of convergence is not among devices, drugs, and diagnostic tools. Rather, it is the convergence of these products with medical procedures. Medical procedures add significantly to the cost of medical care. Enabling new, more effective, and safer medical procedures will require more technology, not less.
The MRS “Lunch N Lecture” is a series of informal talks from any faculty member whose research interests are in materials.
