Students formed the team at the end of 2022 and spent the first two months of 2023 ideating their proposal. Then 鈥� around their regular course loads 鈥� they worked in the lab until the end of the semester. During the summer months, they implemented plans to raise money, contacting stakeholders that a small finance sub team had brainstormed. Throughout, they held workshops with the Montr茅al biotech community as well as a two-day conference.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 18:35:56 +0000 admin 3411 at /wie /wie/channels/news/mcgill-engine-cultivates-entrepreneurial-mindset-357170 <p>The <a href="/engine/events/john-d-thompson-entrepreneurial-development-seminar">John D.
