Neuroengineering, cell transplantation, tissue engineering, synthetic biology, nanotechnology.  These relatively new fields of research are all growing; some are exploding; and a few are on the verge of major breakthroughs that will revolutionize medicine and change how we see the human body …  maybe even change what it means to be human.  Most of our ideas of what this hybrid future looks like are driven by science fiction, but how close are today’s technologies to realizing this imagined future?  Or will reality look like something we haven’t even imagined yet? 

Food will be provided at the event thanks to the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering.
