Speaker Series

Researchers, founders, and engineers.

McGill BioDesign's ongoing Speaker Series is a collection of presentations by industry professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs invited to share their expertise and journey with interested students.

It is normal for undergraduate students, particularly those in bioengineering and STEM programs, to feel uncertain about their career path. The series exposes students to the fields of bioengineering and biotechnology, broadens their perception of potential career paths, and creates opportunities to connect with speakers.

We hold several events throughout the year. Scientists and professionals interested in speaking to students about their careers and work are encouraged to contact us.
