Stack Family Center for Biopharmaceutical Education and Training Executive Director, Dr. Michelle Lewis, accepted the award on behalf of the College at the organization’s conference and honors dinner in Buffalo, NY.
Each year, MedTech recognizes members and partners with awards in a variety of categories for their dedication to the bio/med industry and commitment to improving the lives of patients world-wide. MedTech honored ACPHS for its leadership in New York’s life sciences revolution and for its contributions to life sciences education and research which have measurably advanced the field.
During the conference, Lewis also presided on a panel “Navigating First Steps: From the Lab to Clinical Trials,” with a half dozen statewide biotech leaders.
