UC SAN DIEGO TECHNOLOGY SUMMIT: Discover the Future of Biomedical Research Technologies
Come curious | Leave inspired

Agilent Center of Excellence in Cellular Intelligence (ACoE) × The Goeddel Family Technology Sandbox 

Founded in 2024, the ACoE and the Technology Sandbox are opening their doors for a day of exploration, discovery and conversation. Whether you're launching your first project or leading an established research program, this event is designed to help you discover the right technologies and the right collaborators for your next biological question. 

Technology is only valuable when people know it exists and how to use it. This event is about connecting people with capabilities.
