Impel Neuropharma Info Session May 12th, 2015 at 6 pm

The Bioengineering department is hosting a Career Meet-Up with Impel Neuropharma featuring Matt Tomson, head of Human Resources and Director of Finance, and Michelle Halpin, an alumna of the UW’s Bioengineering department and current Product Development Engineer at Impel! The meet-up is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th at 6pm at Foege N130A. All engineering and biology majors are welcome! If you are planning on going, please RSVP at this link:  https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/atwong94/269650.

A Career Meet-Up is a chance to gather a number of interested students together with a company representative for informal discussion about industry in general, networking, and internships. The first part of the session will feature a presentation by Matt and Michelle, and the second part will be an open discussion/Q&A for students to ask questions. This would be a great way to network and to explore the industry path! 

Impel Neuropharma is a biotechnology start-up based in Seattle. Their goal is to enable drugs to bypass the blood brain barrier for treatment of diseases. They have developed a device called the Precision Olfactory Delivery device (POD), that works similarly to a nasal spray but is able to deliver drugs to the upper nasal cavity and bypass the blood brain barrier.
