ABOUT THE EVENT:

LABEST - Los Angeles Bioscience Ecosystem Summit 2022 is the premier showcase for bioscience innovation in Los Angeles County produced by UCLA TDG (Technology Development Group) - the tech transfer office for the University. This event is a collaboration with colleagues from across the  county to present promising academic research, entrepreneurial faculty investigators, as well as local incubators and start up companies. It is intended to promote awareness  of the growing life science entrepreneurial ecosystem in Los Angeles and  to foster partnerships with the biotechnology and life science industry.

Throughout the day, faculty members present their latest scientific breakthroughs, which will lead to the critical therapies of tomorrow. Leading bioscience translational research programs and start ups will be showcased where Southern California Institutions have significant expertise, pioneering research and resource commitments directed towards developing innovative patient therapies.
