Tackle real-world organ transplant challenges, get expert mentorship, and compete in a hands-on UCSD Design Lab Design-A-Thon!
About this Event

Join the REIMAGINE Center Design-a-thon, a hands-on competition where UC San Diego students will collaborate, innovate and tackle challenges in organ transplantation. 

While scientific advances continue to improve transplant outcomes, many patients lack the tools, guidance and support needed to find a living donor. 

The challenge brings together organ transplant experts, design leaders and innovators, offering hands-on mentorship and real-world insights to help you develop impactful solutions and present them to judges.
