CFB Intern Places in Entrepreneurs Challenge

In early April, CFB Intern and Stony Brook University Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Peter Saenz was awarded second place and a price of $10,000 in the Stony Brook Entrepreneurs Challenge. The prize money will be used to advance the prototype of his “Ripple Band”, a wearable device to prevent viral transmission. He will be competing in the region finals on April 16 with the hopes of advancing to the statewide competition on April 24th. Congratulations and best of luck Peter!
