Rothberg Catalyzer at Penn

We did it!! This year’s #catalyzeratpenn was the largest, most diverse catalyzer ever with teams from @Wharton @PennEngineers @PennMedicine @PennSAS !! Amazing ideas from stellar teams! Thanks to the judges and mentors! Special thanks to @JMRothberg for making all this possible!

Congrats to @PennMedEVDCSO @jonepstein1 on this prestigious national award from the @ACPInternists for repeatedly providing paradigm-shifting discoveries based on a deep understanding of molecular mechanisms of human biology & disease. bit.ly/2X4klaw

In September, I had the privilege of leading a Design Thinking workshop at the @CatalyzerAtPenn, a student Makerthon for medical devices. Last week, an amazingly innovative orthotic device for children with cerebral palsy took first place. Check it out! medium.com/penn-engineeri…

The Rothberg Catalyzer at Penn is truly a whirlwind weekend filled with the buzzing minds of aspiring students looking to change healthcare for the better, a marathon of creativity, camaraderie, and ingenuity. Learn more about @CatalyzerAtPenn here: bit.ly/2NisfJ5

Congratulations Team SchistoSpot, winners of the Pioneer Award at the Rothberg Catalyzer! Comprised of seniors in Bioengineering, their invention is a low-cost microscopy diagnostic with computer vision capabilities that automate the diagnosis of schistosomiasis. @CatalyzerAtPenn

CEO Sasha Schrode was one of this year’s judges for #catalyzeratpenn!! So grateful for her experience and wisdom!! #femalefounder #startup #HealthTech

Amazing weekend at @CatalyzerAtPenn working on solutions to big #healthcare problems. Our team worked on normalizing the procedure of performing ultrasounds on muscle atrophy patients. Great energy in this event! #catalyzeratpenn #innovation @pennbioeng @penn @PennHealthTech

Congrats to this years winners: 1st Place - MAR Designs 2nd Place - Team Splash 3rd Place - Super Scope Pioneer Award - SchistoSpot Congrats again to all the students from @PennEngineers @PennMedicine @Wharton @PennSAS #catalyzeratpenn

@mjsobrep @rmli_ @PennHealthTech @JMRothberg 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wooo!! We (@rmli_ and A Mansfield) won! The @CatalyzerAtPenn was a really cool experience. Thanks again @PennHealthTech @JMRothberg
