DBEI Research Integration Focused Series (DBEI-RISE) will meet to identify topics of scientific importance that we can best pursue via collaborations among DBEI faculty, PSOM faculty and Penn faculty. Through presentations, discussions and brainstorming, DBEI-RISE will facilitate collaborative work on both scientific and methodological questions that require further research. DBEI-RISE will hold quarterly meetings, each on a Friday from 10 am to 4 pm. Each meeting will generally include eight presentations and discussions.
