WIB-National: Virtual Event Project Management Essentials for the Life Sciences
2026-01-28 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | VIRTUAL
Scientific innovation requires more than great ideas—it requires coordinated execution. In the life sciences, project managers provide structure to complex work by planning timelines, aligning teams, communicating clearly, and adapting as projects evolve. This session will highlight the key hard skills (planning, scope management, and stakeholder coordination) and soft skills (influence, communication, and collaboration) needed to guide projects from concept to completion.
Learn how to:

Identify key project management concepts and terminology relevant to the life sciences.
Understand how scientific, regulatory, and business priorities shape project timelines and strategy.
Apply practical tools to improve communication, decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration.
Recognize how project management skills translate across roles—from bench science to operations, commercialization, and leadership.

Book Launch: A Conversation with Dr. Yin Ho, Author of Rushing Headlong: Health IT's Legacy and the Road to Responsible AI
2026-02-05 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | BioLabs, 101 College St, New Haven, CT, 06511
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Yin Ho, MD, MBA, the author of Rushing Headlong: Health IT’s Legacy and The Road to Responsible AI, which traces the journey from early health IT hopes to the rise of generative AI in medicine.
​Blending personal stories with deep industry experience, she dissects how both public and private leaders have let key opportunities slip away, leaving behind a healthcare system that is often disjointed and frustrating for patients, clinicians, and researchers alike.
​Dr. Ho does not pull punches as she guides the reader through the damage done by regulatory capture and how generative AI can help transform mountains of medical data into real progress.
​Clear-eyed and unapologetic, this book exposes how every healthcare stakeholder in the system shares responsibility for our current predicament- and why fixing it demands intention, collaboration, and courage from all of us.
Author:

Yin Ho, M.D., M.B.A.

A serial entrepreneur and visionary executive in the Health IT and clinical research space, Dr. Ho has been founding, building, and leading Health IT companies and initiatives for over 25 years.
Most recently, Dr. Ho was the interim CEO at Veradigm (MDRX) where she led the strategic acquisition of a generative AI company, Science IO. As the first electronic health record firm to have its own proprietary LLM capabilities (in the form of small language models) in-house, she charted a direction to improve the quality of data collection and data abstraction for both clinical care and research. A longtime strategic thinker, Dr. Ho also founded and led Context Matters Inc. — the first data analytics software company focused on global health technology assessments and linking health economics to clinical trial outcomes. Today, Context Matters is part of Clarivate Analytics (CLVT).
Dr. Ho led eHealth at Pfizer (PFE) in the early years of Health IT, and served as the Chief Product and Strategy Officer for Aetion in the first years of real world evidence. She was also the VP of Product and Corporate Strategy at Medidata, and part of the executive team who led the company through its IPO.
Originally trained as an emergency medicine physician at Yale, Dr. Ho became excited about the potential of eHealth and changed careers quickly by earning an MBA from Harvard just as eHealth/Health IT was emerging. In fact, to help push the Health IT ecosystem along, she co-founded New York City Health Business Leaders (NYCHBL) — now Digital Health New York (DHNY) — to propel NYC into the healthcare innovation juggernaut it is today.
Dr. Ho is currently on the Board of Directors at Segmed (an AI-enabled radiology data aggregator for real world evidence) and serves as an advisor to Lighten AI (a clinical abstraction AI company) and Novellia (an AI-enabled personal health data company).
Dr. Ho earned her B.A. from Brown University, her M.D. from Yale University School of Medicine, and her M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.

SBIR/STTR Accelerator
2026-02-11 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | VIRTUAL
Calling all CT-based innovators!
Are you planning to pursue an SBIR/STTR grant this year? Don’t undertake this highly competitive process alone – join CTSBDC’s SBIR/STTR Accelerator to get closer to submitting a successful grant proposal. If you can commit to six weekly, online sessions the SBIR/STTR Accelerator can help you get a leg up on the competition. Our advisors have helped guide many clients through this process, resulting in significant grant awards.
What is SBIR/STTR?
Through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, America’s Seed Fund awards non-dilutive funding to develop your technology and chart a path toward commercialization.
CTSBDC will guide you step-by-step toward a successful application:

Session #1: Intro to SBIR, ABCs of SBIR/STTR
Session #2: Assessing Your Business Concept and Business Model
Session #3 Market Research and the Essentials of Commercialization
Session #4: Defining Your Technological Innovation and Understanding Federal Agency Objectives
Session #5: Overview of a Phase 1 Proposal
Session #6: Final Showcase

Am I a good fit for SBIR/STTR?
SBIR/STTR funds research and development (R&D) that advances science/engineering and can become commercial products, not general business or app development projects. Agencies look for novel technical risk and a plan to test feasibility (Phase I) and develop it further (Phase II).
Appropriate for SBIR/STTR (examples of funded work):

New science/engineering with clear R&D
Advanced medical/assistive hardware with novel sensing
Aerospace manufacturing breakthroughs
AI when it requires new methods + rigorous R&D

Typically not appropriate for SBIR/STTR:

Service or consulting models without a clear technical innovation
General business or consumer apps that assemble existing tools with no new R&D
Service/consulting concepts or projects centered on marketing, sales, or business development

Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to join the fight against the disease.
Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk® ; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

While there is no fee to register for Walk, all participants are encouraged to raise critical funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support and advance research toward methods of prevention, treatment and, ultimately, a cure.
Where do the funds go?
All funds raised through Walk to End Alzheimer’s further the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. The Alzheimer’s Association is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Do I have to register in order to Walk?
Yes, we want to know you’re walking with us and need every participant to sign a standard waiver through their official registration. There is no registration fee for Walk. However, we ask every participant to make a personal donation and commit to raising funds in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
Do I need to register my children for Walk?
Yes, children should register. Parents/guardians can register children online or complete an offline registration form and sign the waiver on behalf of the child.
Does every participant get a T-shirt?
Every registered participant who achieves the fundraising minimum of $100 will receive an official Walk to End Alzheimer’s T-shirt via USPS. To receive a shirt in time for Walk day, participants must raise the T-shirt minimum at least four weeks prior to the event.
How do I get my offline donations to show up on my personal fundraising web page?
Donations can be made offline by submitting a check or money order by mail or hand-delivering to the local Alzheimer’s Association office. Be sure to include your offline donation form, which can be found in your Participant Center or on your fundraising web page, to make sure you receive credit for the donation. Donations typically take one to two weeks to show up on your web page. Don’t want to wait? You can also deposit checks directly to your Walk page from the Walk to End Alzheimer’s mobile app for iPhone or Android.
