Surgeons, nurses, and other medical staff at a hospital in Uganda are now able to take advantage of Arbutus Medical battery-powered tools as well as local technical support to treat thousands of orthopedic patients in need. For several years, Arbutus Medical has worked with international aid organizations to bring DrillCover surgical tools to hospitals in low-resource countries to help them ...
Our fifth annual round-up of the tools that look set to shake up science this year. From gene editing to protein-structure determination to quantum computing, here are seven technologies that are likely to have an impact on science in the year ahead. Fully finished genomes Roughly one-tenth of the human genome remained uncharted when genomics researchers Karen Miga at the University of ...
This week I am talking to Adam Sachs (@AdamSachsVS), CEO and Co-Founder of Vicarious Surgical (@vicarioussurg) a company that is rethinking surgery. Adam is a mechanical engineer by training who studied at MIT focusing on biomedical engineering and robotics. This is where he met his co-founders Sammy Khalifa, Dr. Barry Green. They came together to solve some fundamental challenges with ...
Part 1: Identify the real need Today hospitals, and in particular operating theaters, have become hubs of innovation. There is a real proliferation of solutions, functions and various technologies, with manufacturers, resellers or suppliers offering tailor-made and sometimes scalable solutions. These solutions are often captive and proprietary and do not always allow you to compose your own ...

“What kind of CEO do you want to be?” That question still rings in my head. It came after a meeting with a CEO that I’d attended with my dad, one in a string of meetings to match small biotech and health tech companies with potential investors. My dad, an investor, was letting me flex some muscle. I had hopped straight from earning a PhD in biomedical engineering to consulting ...
My standards education began in 1990 when I became the chairman of an ASTM International task group. I was the group leader of R&D for a medical device manufacturer, recognized the need for a specific industry standard and felt that taking a leadership role in developing this standard would be a good professional development activity. The standard was eventually approved and I continue to ...
High aspect ratio (AR) gold nanorods (NRs) attract great interest for biomedical applications due to their novel physicochemical properties. Here, we report a facile method for preparation of high AR gold NRs through a seedless surfactant-mediated protocol with the additive of nitric acid. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies showed that the concentration of nitric acid has ...
