“[…] a lot of the innovation that we do pre clinically can be completely wiped away or absolutely augmented. Once you get into the clinic and things can be flipped around[…]”   Global BioAccess Fund's Chief Scientific Officer, Lisa Wisniewski, PhD's comments on how easily assumptions can be flipped around and the different forms of innovation in this sector. Check out the link below to hear the entire conversation between Bruce Roberts, Aldo Maccari, Stephane Piat, and Lisa Wisniewski, PhD in the most recent webinar focusing on current and future investment trends in the Bio/MedTech sector.   #KoboFunds #biotechindustry #medtechinnovation

What if I told you there's a company working on growing tiny, fully functional livers inside people's bodies using injected cells? Sounds like sci-fi, right? But that's exactly what LyGenesis is doing. The founder Dr. Michael Hufford sees this as the future of regenerative medicine. It's an insanely ambitious and potentially life-changing idea. If LyGenesis can pull this off, they'll go down in the biotech history books. #regenrativemedicine #livertransplant #innovation #healthcare #greyb

Breaking news about BioNJ ‘s BioPartnering Conference which will take place on May 14th at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City! If you are an entrepreneur looking for investors or industry partners, you won’t want to miss this event! #BioNJEntrepreneurs #funding #jerseycity #BioPartnering2024

Really excited to be at BIO this year - it's a particularly exciting conference given the incredible diversity of innovative therapeutic technologies on display.  So much potential impact on patient lives embedded in novel ways to direct science against unmet needs.   The most common challenge I see is - where do I start?  In a world where you have unlimited therapeutic potential - but finite funds and capacity - how do you focus your efforts to maximize both financial value and, ultimately, patient impact?     The early investments you make in translational and clinical data generation will define how the external world sees and values your innovation.  So many companies under-invest in getting this right - and downstream mis-steps quickly erode capital resources and organizational value, and ultimately prevent great science from realizing its potential to impact patient lives.   If you're wrestling with these questions I would love to connect, share common pitfalls, and talk through how we can help with this critical stage in the innovation lifecycle.  If you're at #BIO2024 and want to connect live, or just want to hop on a call in the coming weeks, don't hesitate to reach out. https://lnkd.in/eY4j7w7M

Following #Wisconsin’s designation as a Regional #Technology and Innovations Hub (Tech Hub) from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) last October, the Wisconsin Biohealth Tech Hub submitted its Phase 2 application seeking $75 million in funds to support six interconnected projects designed to transform the State of Wisconsin into a #global leader in #biohealth #innovation and #personalizedmedicine. 'Receiving the Tech Hub designation was just the beginning,' explains Wendy Harris, Regional Innovation Officer for the Wisconsin Biohealth Tech Hub. 'It recognizes Wisconsin’s strengths in personalized medicine, biohealth technology, and precision manufacturing. Now, as we seek funding to drive growth and #innovation while safeguarding national #security, witnessing Wisconsin companies come together is an amazing testimony to our collaborative spirit and our ability to succeed as a unified force.'
