🩻 March 12th
Topic - From Discovery to Delivery: The Diagnostic Entrepreneur’s Path
The road from a scientific breakthrough in the lab to a validated diagnostic tool in the clinic is complex and often uncharted.
We’ll move beyond theory to unpack the real-world challenges of translating academic research into a regulated, commercially viable IVD product. We’ll explore from securing translational funding and clinical validation to scaling manufacturing and navigating Health Canada approvals.
If you are building the next generation of diagnostic tools and want a clear, practical map of the journey from bench to bedside, this conversation is your essential guide. Gain invaluable insights to de-risk your own path from discovery to delivery.
Speakers:
Evan Monk, PhD Candidate, Developing an Aptamer-Based Lateral Flow Test for Kawasaki Disease
Dr. Peter Liu, Cardiologist & Researcher at University of Ottawa Heart Institute
Dr. Adam Shuhendler, Founder at Yellowbird Diagnostics

Topic - AI Transformation Stories
AI transformation is happening fast, and the best insights come from the work happening behind the scenes. Join us for a lively panel of leaders sharing real stories of how AI is being introduced and scaled inside their organizations.
We’ll unpack what’s working, what’s been unexpectedly challenging, and what’s driving real results. If you’re curious about AI in practice (not just in theory) this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
