Join the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science and graduate student researchers as we learn about current research topics in regulatory science. The goal of this event is to provide students with a chance to present their research in a friendly, supportive environment and to receive feedback from faculty and colleagues who are also interested in regulatory science-related questions. During this virtual symposium, students will present on a variety of topics including economics, health policy, pharmaceutical R&D, data science, regulation, and bioethics. The event will be hosted and moderated by Professor Ariel Stern. Florence Bourgeois, Aaron Kesselheim, Mark Namchuk, and additional faculty mentors from the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science will be present to discuss students' research ideas and provide their expertise.
