Evaluating your new artificial organ technology’s readiness for preclinical work or just want to get together to talk about the latest in preclinical testing, bioskills training or medtech innovation across the board? Connect with GCMI and T3 Labs at ASAIO 2023. At GCMI, medtech and medical device innovation are at the core of our efforts…
The National Center for Biotechnology Information describes mechanical circulatory assist devices as, “commonly used in the treatment of severe heart failure as bridges to cardiac transplant, as destination therapy for patients who are not transplant candidates, and as bridges to recovery and “decision-making.” These devices, which can be used to support the left or right…
“Founded in 1917, the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS), along with its philanthropic arm, the AATS Foundation, has sought to advance the field of cardiothoracic surgery. It is an international organization whose members have a proven record of distinction within the specialty and have made significant contributions to the care and treatment of cardiothoracic…
Image credit: Clinical Imaging Systems GCMI, the U.S. proving ground for medtech innovation, has recently acquired a GE LightSpeed VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner with cardiac gating capabilities. “The ability for these machines to generate 3D images of anatomic structures and organs in a pre-op, post-op or intra-operative scenario, including cardiac and vascular imaging, has…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Founded by Cardiologists In the late 1990s, Dr. Robert Matheny, Chief Scientific Officer of CorMatrix Cardiovascular Inc., was looking for accessible resources, including preclinical support, needed to support innovation in care for cardiovascular physicians and their patients. In 1999, his collaboration with other Atlanta area interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons resulted in the development…
As industries of all shapes and sizes continue to evolve embracing remote work models and various levels of return to travel for business, 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…
