A clinical innovation seminar, organised by NovaUCD and NCAD, has taken place at St. Vincent’s University Hospital. The aim of the seminar entitled, ‘From Concept to Product’, was to discuss clinical innovation and the wider Irish innovation ecosystem with healthcare professionals at St. Vincent’s.
The seminar was introduced by Professor Michael Keane, Dean of Medicine and Head, UCD School of Medicine.
Speakers at the seminar included;
Dr Ena Walsh, Case Manager, Life Sciences, who spoke about the supports available through NovaUCD and the wider NovaUCD ecosystem;
Dr David Corr, CEO, Atturos, a UCD spin-out company, who spoke about his experiences of developing a business and finding the value proposition;
