Fortnightly member newsletter of the Melbourne Bioinnovation Student Initiative
Hello <<First Name *>>,
The end of semester is almost upon us! I hope you are all well, maintaining the stress levels (as much as possible) and looking forward to the break ahead.
In the last five weeks, we have watched student teams develop and launch their own innovative ideas as part of our inaugural Biodesign Competition. With one week left to go, students are finding the experience highly valuable and insightful. We are so excited to see what they have come up with and gather more takeaways from their experience to improve the competition for future years. We have been fortunate to be joined by guest speakers from successful healthcare start-ups such as Navi Medical Technologies and Ventora Medical, which has been a fantastic opportunity for students to ask questions and receive mentoring. Next Wednesday, we will hear from all teams who will present a short pitch outlining their healthcare innovations. The top three teams will be awarded prizes for their creative thinking and pitch proposals. Pitch night is open to all, and a fantastic way to see the effects of the six-week competition!
