Testimonials

Validated and peer-reviewed, MESH Core has run in-person since 2018. Here are some comments from physician alumni:

“I found the idea of starting a company or lab in the future to be overwhelming and likely impossible before this course. But the lectures and hands on sessions were all fantastic in elucidating concepts helpful for both. I would recommend everyone in our program take this course before graduating."

Anonymous feedback
