ITHS/We-Reach Innovation Symposium & ITHS Translational Science Expo

How do you translate innovations from great ideas to successful medicine? Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) Expo will help answer that question in a multifaceted celebration of process, perseverance and accomplishment.

ITHS will host the annual Innovation Symposium and Translational Science Expo. This gathering is an opportunity for ITHS-supported researchers from Seattle and across Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho to share their work, network and learn from colleagues at every stage of the translational science journey.
