Event Description

The National Science Foundation's Advanced Technology Education program supports the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive the US economy. As a National ATE Center, InnovATEBIO works to showcase biotech-related ATE projects and mentor prospective ATE PIs.

In keeping with previous years, InnovATEBIO is hosting a series of webinars featuring biotech-related ATE projects. We are grateful for the opportunity to have ATE PIs come talk to you about their projects. We hope these talks encourage you to think about writing and submitting your own proposals to the NSF ATE program.

Spring 2025 webinars will all be Fridays at 12:30 pm ET (11:30 noon Central, 10:30 am Mountain, 9:30 am Pacific)

Presentation format: Each talk will be 20 minutes. After the talks, there will be 15 minutes for questions and discussion.
