At the Rosenman Institute we’re here to support medtech startups. We connect entrepreneurs to the resources and expertise they need to commercialize their technologies. Helping innovators forge connections is why we’ve brought our legendary symposium back for a fourth year. Join us in San Francisco on June 21 to learn from leaders in the field, meet CEOs of exciting early-stage companies, and get insight on how industry forms strategic partnerships with startups.

Rosenman Innovators

During the symposium, we’ll hear lightning presentations from 10 entrepreneurs: the Rosenman Innovators. The Rosenman Innovators are the entrepreneurs selected as finalists for the Medtech Track of the QB3 Life Science Pitch Summits. Rosenman Innovators are eligible to be chosen to receive a wide range of valuable medtech services (valued at $250k) including lab time, prototyping, and design support, plus cash prizes.

Every day, engineers integrate new technology into medical devices. But with the pace of advances in technology and discovery, the potential for devices now far outstrips the state of the art. It is essential for us to reimagine the possibilities. Where better to reimagine devices than the Rosenman Symposium, held at UCSF Mission Bay? Together, we can speed the development of exciting technologies to improve the lives of patients.

Precision medicine is transforming the field of medical devices. How can engineers, investors, clinicians, and medical device professionals anticipate the future? Our June symposium brings Bay Area stakeholders together to share insights and discuss how entrepreneurs can bring new technologies to market for the benefit of patients.

The route for taking a medical device from idea to product generally isn’t smooth. Surgeons know what problems they need solved, but they often know little about bioengineering. Engineers are great at building products, but often don’t know whether a device is needed or wanted in the clinic.

That’s why we created the Rosenman Institute, a UCSF-based initiative devoted to medical device innovation. The Institute, named for the late Dan Rosenman, a biomedical engineer, is a collaboration between QB3, the UCSF Department of Surgery, the UCSF Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, and medical device professionals. Our goal is to connect physician innovators with engineering expertise and business support to accelerate medical device innovation.

This symposium will inspire clinicians and engineers to innovate; introduce the resources available at the Rosenman Institute; and enable entrepreneurs to share their stories and their perspectives on the future of medical device innovation. It will also provide an opportunity for networking with entrepreneurs, physicians, investors, biomedical engineers, scientists, mentors and representatives of major device
