Ultrasound Commercialization and Translation Summit
This year, IUS is proposing a Commercialization and Translation Summit on the last day of the conference. The summit is an opportunity for attendees to learn about the ways IUS community members have taken research ideas from their laboratory and developed the commercial potential of that research. This Summit will explore success stories of researchers translating their research, discuss perspectives and approaches employed by small and large businesses in translating technologies, and engage in workshops to strengthen skills in various forms of translation and commercialization.
