Learn how the next generation of regenerative medicine researchers at the University of Toronto and its affiliated hospitals are preparing to translate their discoveries toward impact. At the Building a Biotech Venture Pitch Competition, six trainee-led teams will pitch their regenerative medicine-related products or ventures to an expert panel of judges and compete for up to $25,000 in research funding.

The competition is the culmination of Medicine by Design’s Building a Biotech Venture program, offered in partnership with H2i. Over the past three months, the program has offered workshops and mentoring to help teams advance company or product concepts based on their regenerative medicine research. The teams with the highest potential for company creation have been selected to take part in the pitch competition.
