UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute will present “Increasing Policy Relevance of Research” at its next Bench to Bedside and Beyond Seminar Series, from noon to 1 p.m. on Oct. 25.
In addition to being held in H4504 at the College of Medicine, the session will be streamed to 116 Henderson at University Park campus and also will stream online. Online registration is requested; the online stream link is provided upon registration.
