Biodesign Speaker Series

Overview

Stanford Biodesign launched the annual Thomas Fogarty lecture in 1998 and the From the Innovator’s Workbench speaker series in 2003 to enable the Stanford Biodesign community and the public to learn from the greatest health technology innovators of our time. With one Fogarty lecture and multiple Innovator’s Workbench events held annually, each one features an individual or a panel of health technology leaders being interviewed about their innovation process, insights, and perspectives on the changing healthcare landscape.

David Cassak, a renowned healthcare journalist, is the host of the Innovator's Workbench series. In this role, he has interviewed leaders across the health technology industry. The Innovator's Workbench events are currently sponsored by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
