Welcome Our New CMI Fellow: Connor Page
My name is Connor Page and I am excited to begin as the CMI Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh Center for Medical Innovation! In 2022 I received a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh. During my time in undergrad, I was a member of the Pitt Varsity Marching Band and the Pitt Men's Glee Club. I was also an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) for Biology II, Genetics, and Microbiology.
After graduation, I spent 3 years in a clinical microbiology lab where I performed identification and sensitivity testing on bacterial and fungal pathogens from patient samples. In 2025 I decided I wanted to return to Pitt to further my education. I began Pitt’s Master of Science in Medical Product Engineering (MS-MPE) program in the Fall 2025 semester and have loved my experience in the program thus far. I have developed a foundational understanding of various skills including ethnography, CAD, human centered design, and human factors, and I look forward to expanding my skillset and knowledge as I continue through the program. Outside of school, you can find me at run club, playing pickleball, or spending time with my cat.
I am looking forward to continuing my educational journey at Pitt through the completion of the MS-MPE program within the Swanson School of Engineering and I am excited to contribute to CMI’s mission while preparing for my future career in medical device innovation.
