Summer participants in the Veterinary Student Innovation Program write about what might be coming. The veterinary students have been working alongside early stage animal health companies to help bridge the gap between technology and the veterinary practice. See their contributions on the following topics:
- Turning suture material into biological sensors
- Starving cancer without starving the planet
- Cancer blood test
- Crowdsourced artificial pancreas
- App trains healthcare professionals to detect early stage skin cancer
- First biohybrid being created by 3-D printing and genetic engineering
