Gary Atkinson Future15 | Intermediate | Design + Development | #IoTdata 3:45 PM 5:00 PM Room 615AB Room 616AB Don���t Stop at Software: Make Hardware Too! Stem Cell Technology: Transforming Drug Discovery Many product ideas require hardware for sensing, user interaction, etc. Developments such as low cost rapid prototyping & manufacturing, energy efficient parts, crowd funding, etc, have made it easier to get into the hardware game. Learn how to take advantage of these trends and focus on the core value of your product that makes it unique, the software, and outsource the rest. Denis Bohm Future15 | Advanced | Design + Development | #dontstop The current model of drug discovery is broken. Billions of dollars are wasted, and it takes far too long to bring a drug to market���time that many patients lack. Stem cells promise to revolutionize drug development and usher in cell therapies. Stem cells can morph into any cell type, providing a living window into disease. Researchers can directly test, screen, and de-risk drugs on these cells.
