The 2021 Women@SLS Conference recently took place on June 24, exploring the growth and changes that the industry has seen over the past year while still acknowledging the opportunities for improvement.
A medtech or life science project’s success is dependent on the careful consideration of several intersecting components: technological, clinical, commercial and legal. GCMI follows a structured, phase-gated process that allows for a disciplined, capital efficient medical device design and product development approach.
When it comes to medtech innovation, our client’s success is always our top priority. We help find the right people for the task at any point on the commercialization pathway.
The Fluid Fighters Capstone team needed to test their prototype for draining rates and tissue adherence or occlusion avoidance. GCMI’s preclinical testing and bioskills training arm T3 Labs provided the facility and resources the team needed to complete the task.
Yoel Alperin, Parth Gami, Sindhu Kannappan and Kelly Qiu comprise the Georgia Tech Spring 2021 Capstone Design Team ScolAlign. Their technology seeks to objectively improve the standard of care for intraoperative spinal alignment during scoliosis correction surgery.
GCMI is now pleased to offer you a deep-dive, behind-the-scenes look at what we do and how we do it in our comprehensive Book of Knowledge.
“Our validation work would not have been possible without GCMI’s support and T3 Labs’ facility and equipment. Being ‘radio-opaque’ is a critical design input for this tool. That type of feedback is impossible without a proper operating room environment.”
“We needed to validate whether or not our device could create the appropriate pressures needed to restore esophageal function in tissue that closely mimics live human tissue… in a safe environment for live tissue where sanitation would not be a concern. The GCMI and T3 Labs team helped prepare the space, tools, and specimen we needed for the validation testing event.”
Congratulations to GCMI’s very own: Dr. Emily Blum on her recent advancement within Emory University from Adjunct Clinical Instructor to Adjunct Assistant Professor. The advancement is a testament to Dr. Blum’s commitment to education and clinical research. Emily is instrumental in advancing med tech innovation for GCMI. She works tirelessly to promote GCMI in successfully…
We know preclinical testing is a substantial commitment of time and treasure for medtech and life science innovators. We also know the most expensive study is the one you have to do twice. Our response to your request for preclinical work may not be the lowest bottom line price. But please know this: all…
