“Our confidence in data generated by our in vivo studies with T3 Labs cannot be greater.” – Dr. Hee Cheol Cho The Preclinical Challenge Dr. Hee Cheol Cho and his team needed sufficient feasibility data from physiologically appropriate preclinical studies to pursue public funding opportunities to complete their translational research for a life changing…
Preclinical proficiency and Georgia ‘medtech’ ecosystem assets yield data needed for follow-on, translational funding The Problem – When Nature Doesn’t Give Us the ‘Pacemaking’ Cells We Need at Birth Sometimes nature does not provide enough of the human heart’s own, rare and precious, ‘pacemaking cells’. When this occurs, at any stage of life,…
New medical technologies or devices cannot enter stages of research or clinical trials in humans without certain authorizations required by regulatory agencies responsible for safety and efficacy. As far as those regulatory bodies are concerned, the path to clinical trials in humans is the same whether it’s research or commercial driven. Failing to walk that…
In 2014, a Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta nurse, Lynn Pogue, approached an engineer, Leanne West from Georgia Tech, to discuss the burden of IV monitoring. This is when Sherry Farrugia, the current Chief Executive Officer of GCMI, stepped in to help assemble the team that would begin the investigation into a new device capable of…
Since the first quarter of 2020 the demand for virtual bioskills training and education programs for medical technologies has skyrocketed . Teams leaned on virtual engagement technologies, dedicated lab staff, and proctors onsite, to deliver the training and education required to learn how to safely employ new technologies, products and techniques. At the importance of…
A team of mechanical, electrical and computing engineers, supported by the Director of Cardiac Intensive Care for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, has been named winner of the inaugural GCMI Baby SharQ Tank Pitch Competition for their novel, low cost, wearable pediatric stethoscope. The interdisciplinary team, including engineers (Dr. Hong Yeo, Dr. Yun-Soung Kim, and…
Our lives, personal and professional, bear little resemblance to those we led at the beginning of 2020. Remarkably, in February 2021, U.S. FDA announced the agency “approved, cleared, or authorized a record high of 132 novel medical devices in 2020, surpassing the 40-year high mark we set in 2018 and capping off 10 years of…
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…
At GCMI and our preclinical testing arm T3 Labs, we take great pride in our scientific acumen. After all, the organization was conceived and designed by translational researchers for medical product developers. Thirst for science: it’s in our DNA. We won’t turn your project away because it’s too hard, or because we haven’t done…
