Chancellor Sam Hawgood made a powerful assertion of UCSF's position as a leading medical institution driving positive impact by translation of discoveries, it was the technology that took center stage with a dynamic showcase of frontline innovation in healthcare! Moderated by EVCP Catherine R. Lucey, MD, MACP, and Aenor Sawyer, MD, MS of UCSF Innovation Ventures, the event featured Vice Chancellor David Morris, MD, exploring "The Innovation Engine," Dr. Edward Chang unveiling advancements in building a foundation model of the human brain, and a presentation on AI – (“All Right, All Ready!”) led by Sara Murray, MD, MAS.
Showcasing the breadth of innovation emerging from UCSF, "Lightning Talks: Bright Ideas from UCSF Frontline Innovators" highlighted five companies founded at the university: EpiBiologics (Ann Lee-Karlon), Vevo Therapeutics (Nima Alidoust), Hydronovo (Chelsea Bahney), Fast Glioma (Shawn Hervey-Jumper), and Minutia (Katy Digovich).
The University's "HIGHLIGHTS - Tabletop Showcase" featured a diverse range of innovative projects and technologies.
