Cyth Systems, Inc.

This demo illustrates how our industrial control platform (Circaflex) is used to read the values of industrial sensors (pH probe, thermocouple etc.) and send signals to output devices (pumps, heaters, motors etc.). The demo shows this in the form of a typical Bioreactor. These are capable of providing a controlled environment that supports the growth of cells typically used for pharmaceutical research etc.

Immuneering

Chemists and biologists use models to design new molecules that eventually become drugs used to treat diseases such as cancer. Think like a scientist with the Immuneering team and build your own 3D molecules using atoms, bonds, and your imagination!

Genentech

Genentech’s booth will offer an engaging look at the origins of biotechnology and our role as the birthplace of the biotech industry. Through interactive, kid-friendly STEM experiences and educational displays, visitors can explore how scientific curiosity and innovation have shaped breakthroughs over the past 50 years. Designed to inspire future scientists, the booth provides an accessible way for attendees of all ages to learn how biotechnology works and how it continues to impact communities

Mt. Everest Academy

We will be sharing about our unique K-12 public school within SDUSD and highlighting our career pathways (Biomedical and IT) through "make and take" hands-on activities and as well as CPR demonstrations, appropriate for all ages. Visitors will make "binary bracelets" by spelling their names using binary code as well as create "pixel art" using pipettes. Additionally, we will have CPR mannequins and phlebotomy arms for both CPR and blood draw demonstrations.

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers hands-on, classroom-friendly STEM activities that make complex scientific ideas tangible and fun. Two popular activities—Strawberry DNA extraction and DNA name bracelets—help students connect molecular biology concepts to real-world applications while practicing scientific thinking, data interpretation, and creative design.

Protein nanoparticles in biomedicine

we want to express to the audience the importance of the research we carry out in our lab. We do this with interactive kits involving card games, origami, and do-it-yourself type of kits. Our lab focuses on the use of protein nanoparticles for applications in immunology, cardiovascular and cancer disease, as well as applications in the agricultural sector.
