SENSE.nano Symposium: The Body at All Scales—Sept. 21,22, & 29, 2020

Join us at the 2020 SENSE.nano symposium for an exploration of sensing the body at all scales. From the level of cells, organs, and body systems to individuals and populations, this symposium, broken into three half-day webinars, will highlight the needs for new sensing technologies, showcase research and innovations, and present the impact of these technologies.

Over a series of invited technical talks, panel discussions, presentations by MIT-launched startups, and a view into MIT research today with current graduate students, we will provide needs context and solution perspectives in the domains of sensing for the study of biology and for the care of humans in their environment.
