Join us for a conversation with Yale College Dean Pericles Lewis and Professor Anjelica Gonzalez on how basic science becomes impactful through a focus on human needs. Prof. Gonzalez is Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Head of Davenport College, and Faculty Director at Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale. Her work focuses on engineering solutions for human diseases not addressed well in animal models. Prof. Gonzalez is co-founder of Aero Therapeutics, a company that develops respiratory devices for infants. PremieBreathe, a project based on human-centered design, is an outgrowth of her teaching and research. Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions. Refreshments will be provided at the conclusion of the event.
“Doing It All: Engineering, Entrepreneurship and University Engagement” is the latest installment in the Dean’s Dialogue Series, which invites faculty members to speak with Yale College Dean Pericles Lewis and students about contemporary and sometimes challenging topics. One of the series’ goals is to model conversation as a mode of engagement.
