Join us on Thursday, October 30, 2025, for the UBC Innovation & Industry Breakfast, co-hosted by the School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME), the Faculty of Medicine, Canada’s Immuno-Engineering and Biomanufacturing Hub (CIEBH), and Innovation UBC.
Held at UBC Vancouver to coincide with the LSBC Invest in BC conference, this invite-only morning event is designed for industry leaders, investors, and innovation partners seeking high-impact collaboration opportunities in biomedical engineering and the life sciences.
Attendees will hear short, focused presentations from UBC faculty whose research is at the forefront of translation and commercialization:
Confirmed Speakers:
Dr. Megan Levings – Regulatory T cell therapies for immune tolerance and autoimmunity
Dr. Anna Blakney – RNA-based vaccines, therapeutics, and biomaterials for drug delivery
Dr. Nika Shakiba – Stem cell engineering, synthetic biology, and cell competition for regenerative medicine
This is also a unique opportunity to visit the newly opened Gordon B. Shrum Building, home to SBME’s translational research labs, collaborative spaces, and bio-innovation platforms.
