Revolutionizing Pediatrics: Innovations in Medical Device Design & Development. A Pediatric Tech Talk Webinar with GCMI, June 21, 2023 – 12:00 p.m. Eastern “Innovation in pediatric technologies that address unmet clinical needs lags behind innovation for adult populations in large part due to its relatively small market size and ROI (return on investment) prospects…
Medtech startups or established businesses looking to scale are encouraged to apply for one of the upcoming 16-week accelerator cohorts at the Center for MedTech Excellence. Launched in September 2022, the Center for Medtech Excellence catalyzes the development and commercialization of breakthrough biotechnology, medical devices, life science and therapeutic innovations. Primary areas of focus include…
A “Catheter Gripping Tool” solving an unmet need as GCMI’s grows its roster of collaborative medtech innovations with the Children’s Mercy Kansas City Center for Pediatric Innovation. Human beings are generally good at improvisation. Assembly calls for a 10mm socket? Try this handy crescent wrench right here and maybe it will do. What happened…
The Center for Global Health Innovation (CGHI) recently announced the winners of its 2023 Golden Helix Awards. Congratulations to GCMI’s CEO, Sherry Farrugia, recipient of the 2023 Industry Growth Awards for her impact on the life sciences industry in the state. The Industry Growth Awards are the highest honors bestowed each year by CGHI. …
Our colleague Chris Rozell, Professor and Julian T. Hightower Chair,Technical Interest Groups: Bioengineering, Digital Signal Processing at Georgia Tech asked us to share the following career opportunity advancing research and education in neuroscience. We hope this initiative and position will have the opportunity to work closely with GCMI in the future. From Chris: Georgia Tech…
GCMI, a non-profit affiliate of the Georgia Institute of Technology, is actively recruiting for a research engineer to lead multiple new medtech product development projects. The medical device design services and product development team at GCMI facilitates medical product development through all phases – from initial concept generation through transfer to production manufacturing. We…
Roughly one decade ago, scientists made significant improvements in viral vectors’ ability to deliver genetic therapeutics. Those therapies use genetic material like DNA to manipulate a patients’ own cells. Cellular (cell) therapies transfer cells into the patient whether they are the patients’ own cells or cells derived from another location or donor cells. Because…
As we shared recently, our colleagues at Within3 are using technology to accelerate pharma and medtech innovation in some very interesting ways. Their platform improves life science teams’ engagement in asynchronous applications like advisory boards, helps teams find the right KOLs anywhere on the globe and helps teams make the most out of medical congresses…
The phrase “personalized medicine” has been thrown about by so many for so long in healthcare as to defy definition: or require post graduate work in any one of dozens of specific clinical or technological fields. For the sake of brevity, 3D printing and bioresorbable material technologies are actively realizing personalized medicine in the…
So many engineers probably wanted to be an astronaut as kids at some point or another. Saylan Lukas wanted to design roller coasters. Fortunately for GCMI, our clients and patients benefiting from novel medical technologies, Saylan’s elective in Biomedical Engineering taught by Dr. Sam Hulbert at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology shifted his career course…
