August 2017 | E-Newsletter

Missouri Cures Education Foundation is a statewide non-profit alliance working to promote & protect medical advances to improve the health of Missourians and stimulate the economy in our state. Donations are tax-deductible & support education and outreach programs.

Director's Notes:

Four years ago I thought it would be great to connect women in science, research and business together to network, share stories and meet others in the field. The Women in Science & Entrepreneurship (WISE) events were created! The idea proved to be needed and a success! Today, we hold WISE events in St Louis, Kansas City and Columbia.

Some of the speakers for the St. Louis WISE event on September 8 include:

Supriya Shivakumar who has successfully climbed the corporate ladder and is now the Head of Strategy and Portfolio Development at Millipore Sigma.
Jennifer Silva, pediatric cardiologist at Washington University’s School of Medicine, and founder of SentiAR, a business that makes holograms of patients hearts to help surgeons during surgery.
Nicole Adewale founder of a successful engineering firm in Missouri and Illinois.

The Kansas City the WISE event is October 10. The keynote speaker is Elizabeth Loboa of the University of Missouri, one of the few female Deans of an Engineering Department in the country.

Columbia ’s WISE event is on September 14 and the panel includes successful women from the community including:

Carolyn Henry the Interim Dean of the University of Missouri’s Veterinary School.
Sarah Hill the founder of Story Up which is working all around the world to use virtual reality techniques to tell stories.

Check out the full agendas below and register to attend. Seating is limited.
