Healthcare diagnostics has seen a significant increase in over-the-counter (OTC) or direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing. A trajectory that was already in the making prior to COVID-19, this area has increased at a faster pace as more consumers are comfortable performing OTC tests at home. This change in consumer expectation, as well as an evolution of global regulatory requirements, has led to increased considerations and requirements by IVD manufacturers to produce robust testing options. Join NAMSA for this webinar as we evaluate those enhanced requirements specifically as they affect human factors and usability engineering to ensure all IVDs are safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments. Early understanding of these requirements is crucial and can influence the device display, controls, functions, results interpretations, instructions and countless other design inputs impacting the consumer.

Ohio Life Sciences has relaunched with a focus on advancing innovation and advocating for the common interests across Ohio’s life sciences community. This includes a new, cross-sector effort to accelerate workforce development that will be a central fuel for progress, today and for the future. OLS is excited to convene our regional life sciences communities across the state and continue to share our mission and build member investor engagement. During this networking event, we will facilitate open dialogue and brainstorming on workforce development opportunities across the state, as well as ways you can get involved to unify industry and education to grow Ohio’s life sciences workforce. This FREE event will be hosted by OLS member Dupler Office. Drinks and appetizers will be provided.

Join NAMSA for this webinar where we will discuss the most common approaches used for determining the exhaustive endpoint, their advantages and disadvantages and their influence on study design and results. We will also outline how regulatory requirements and laboratory execution diverge, as well as other challenges of an E&L study that are influenced by a lack of standardized procedures (e.g. mass balance, toxicological assessment).

Companies performing qualified R&D activities can be rewarded by lucrative federal and state tax incentives in the form of R&D tax credits, even if their efforts were not successful. This is particularly true for small-to-midsized BIO and state life science association members. BIO recently partnered with ADP to provide discounted R&D tax credit services to life science companies. Join us for a complimentary webinar to learn how to maximize this new BIO-ADP tax credit offering.

Join OLS and the region’s life sciences community for education and networking, in partnership with J.P. Morgan & Thompson Hine LLP. Attendees will learn about OLS’ direction and focus for 2023 and beyond, and how you can get involved. J.P. Morgan will share an update on the 2023 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference and Thompson Hine LLP will provide an overview of life sciences trends. This is a FREE event with drinks and appetizers provided.

Join Miami University for the 2023 Spring Career and Internship Fair. Connect with more than 3,000 students representing all disciplines and career interests looking for full-time positions, summer internships and/or co-ops, or simply seeking networking opportunities. Be a part of the excitement at one of the nation’s largest all-majors recruiting events!

Presented By: Ross Youngs – Founder/CEO of Biosortia Microbiomics. Both online and in-person sessions will be offered for this event. For over 70 years, the quest to obtain the metabolites or small molecules in unculturable microbes has been a goal of many researchers seeking the best starting points in drug and life science discovery. With only 1% of microbes growing in a culture or bioreactor, the ability to directly obtain has been stymied by nature. The pivot to indirect methods has hit the firewall of nature’s complexity leading mostly to irrelevant and incomplete results. Learn how industrial-scale microbiome mining will open up direct access to these sought-after small molecules from potentially 100% and how this new source will impact therapeutics, agriculture, sustainability, cosmetics, and the entire range of life science discoveries.

Join The Office of Technology Commercialization at Nationwide Children’s Hospital for presentations about new and impactful technologies emerging through research and innovation at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, an update by our licensee Sarepta Therapeutics, and a keynote presentation on the role of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in accelerating gene and cell therapy innovation to benefit patients. In-person seating is limited.

The staff of CWRU Post-Graduate Planning and Experiential Education invite you to participate in the Spring 2023 in-person Career, Education and Inspiration Expo on Friday, March 3rd, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., in the Veale Athletic and Convocation Center Field House. As a recruiter, this is your opportunity to engage with our students and alumni for recruitment opportunities. If you are an admissions rep, this is your opportunity to highlight your graduate/professional school programs. In addition, CWRU organizations can present opportunities for students to get involved. This event is open to all CWRU students and alumni. **A virtual career fair is also planned for this date. Contact the organizer for more details.

This is a FREE event hosted by Ohio Life Sciences, Project Medtech, and McDonald Hopkins, with support from Team NEO. Attendees will learn about OLS’ direction and focus, as well as explore ways you can get involved to unify the industry to grow Ohio’s life sciences ecosystem. Presentations will include company updates from Haima Therapeutics and Nelderm, as well as brief overviews from OLS, Team NEO, Project Medtech, and McDonald Hopkins.
