On May 2, 2017, the University of Pennsylvania will celebrate the launch of the Penn Center for Health, Devices and Technology, or Penn Health-Tech, a University-wide effort to advance Penn’s world-class breakthroughs into new devices and health technologies to meet the world’s most pressing health care needs.
“Pioneering research at Penn Medicine and Penn Engineering places Penn at the forefront of the biomedical revolution,” said Penn’s Vice Provost for Research Dawn Bonnell.
@Penn95 I saw this too - my son will only be a freshman but would love to get involved in something like this - want to be a secure IoT device inventor / innovator and make helpful gadgets. Happy to see this getting launched - excited about Penn SEAS and all its connections to other disciplines!
Yes i feel this is definitely a great thing about Penn, the various disciplines are very interconnected, there are numerous partnerships between different schools at Penn, professors with multiple appointments in various schools etc. A lot of great interdisciplinary work going on.
