Chicago BioEngineering Conference (CBEC)

Event Overview

The Chicago BioEngineering Conference will bring together trailblazers in cutting-edge research areas and forward-looking scientists developing and implementing the latest technologies and methodologies.

The CBEC schedule is packed with an exciting lineup of speakers, panel discussions, and poster presentations that will explore pioneering tools and emerging concepts across the bioengineering landscape. Topics will include advanced sensing technologies, tissue and cell engineering, systems and synthetic biology, as well as new omics approaches. The conference will also feature several networking opportunities to foster collaboration and innovation as we discuss the future of this interdisciplinary field in the Chicagoland region and beyond.

The deadline to register is September 1st, 2024. Registration will be limited. Register early to avoid being placed on a waiting list if venue capacity is reached.
