Announcing the DBEI Research Integration Focused Series

Play a part in addressing scientific problems via broad collaborations

Don't miss the debut of our new DBEI Research Integration Focused Series (DBEI-RISE)! We will meet virtually 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 new 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. See below for our list of expert presenters in January!
