HIVE Launches New Seminar Series

Dr. Cato Laurencin

On October 13th, HIVE successfully launched our new seminar series with a lively presentation by Dr. Cato Laurencin, University Professor at the University of Connecticut and CEO of the Connecticut Convergence Institute for Translational in Regenerative Engineering.  

Dr. Laurencin’s talk addressed the critical issues of healthcare disparities and racial profiling, and discussed his lab’s work in the field of regenerative engineering.
