SPARK Upcoming Events

Wednesdays from 4-6PM

Please join us

On the first three Wednesdays of the month, we gather with our funded investigators and mentors to discuss project updates and support their advancement. These community meetings are conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and virtual participation, and an NDA is required to attend. Please contact  sparkcu@ucdenver.edu to request the NDA and meeting information.

On the last Wednesday of the month, all are welcome to attend SPARK educational seminars. They take place in the School of Pharmacy Seminar room 1000 and span topics ranging from entrepreneurship to commercialization of therapeutics, medical devices and diagnostics.
