For UNeMed, Innovation Week provides an opportunity to expose the UNMC research community to technology transfer. UNeMed needs to demonstrate that anyone can be an inventor and offer ideas to improve health.
With Innovation Week just around the corner, we sat with UNeMed staffers and chatted about Innovation Week.
