Students formed the team at the end of 2022 and spent the first two months of 2023 ideating their proposal. Then – around their regular course loads – they worked in the lab until the end of the semester. During the summer months, they implemented plans to raise money, contacting stakeholders that a small finance sub team had brainstormed. Throughout, they held workshops with the Montréal biotech community as well as a two-day conference.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 18:35:56 +0000 md.lipu@mcgill.ca 9155 at /engineering /engineering/channels/news/introduction-deans-report-352624 <p>It is my pleasure to welcome you to this issue of Dean’s Report and to introduce myself.
