Beware the Unfamiliar Approach: Preclinical Implications for Novel Cell & Gene Therapies

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…

Who brings what to the table? Artivion’s Deepal Stevenson, M.S. shares her insights on the client / CRO relationship for effective, efficient preclinical studies and reports.

Life science companies of all shapes and sizes rely on preclinical contract research organizations (CROs) to generate the data and reports required to bring their innovations to market.   To do this effectively, and in a capital efficient manner, each entity needs to understand what they need from the other, when they need it, why…

Q&A with an Industry Leader – What’s One Area Especially Ripe for Acceleration in Preclinical Work? Hint: It’s Not the OR.

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…

Preclinical Implications for 3D Printed and Bioresorbable Medical Technologies

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…

Quite a Ride! Meet the GCMI Team: Saylan Lukas, Director of Research and Development Engineering

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…

New Technologies for Neurosurgery, Urology and Endoscopy Earn Inaugural I3 GCMI Research Awards

“In partnership with Georgia CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Alliance), the I3 (Imagine, Innovate, and Impact) GCMI Research Awards are intended to spark synergistic interactions among investigators from the Emory School of Medicine (SOM) with Georgia Tech affiliate the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI). Proposals are envisioned to improve patient care by more effectively…

Stars Align – Stridelink quickens march to commercialization with remote monitoring capabilities, CMS CPT codes

The team’s work to date, from concept to the technology’s current state, had primed it to seize the opportunity presented by the January 2022 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announcement of five new remote therapeutic monitoring CPT codes.

Early, consistent focus on the unmet need keeps Augment Health on a solid commercialization pathway

“When your ‘north star’ is doing what’s right for the patient and the user, everything else can follow. The best way to accelerate clinical adoption and utility is to prove your early hypotheses, generate data and gather clinical input.”

The 2022 State of Medtech Design and Development Landscape

Medical technology innovation and critical supporting service providers are not only working through pent up demand for delayed projects from 2020 and 2021, but also striving to advance technologies that reduce cost and improve patient outcomes developed much more recently. The U.S. FDA is striving to support innovation with new programs and guidelines that improve…
