Bruntwood SciTech’s Post

Hear from our #Partners (part 3) Recently, we’ve been shining a spotlight on our partnerships as part of our ongoing celebration to mark 10 years since we launched Citylabs and formed our joint venture with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). We’ve spoken to MFT colleagues about the importance of collaboration and colocation as key ingredients in forming thriving innovation and life science ecosystems. Typifying this ethos, Citylabs has flourished as part of Europe’s largest clinical academic campus to become a world-class hub for health innovation and precision medicine, home to a raft of innovative businesses like QIAGEN, MAC Clinical Research and TAKAGI Ophthalmic Instruments. Set to open next year, the £35m creation of 🏢 Citylabs 4.0 🏢 is the newest phase of the masterplan for the Citylabs campus, and will offer 125,000 sq ft of world-leading sustainable office and lab space and breakout space. Here, Işil Valentina Mirzanli, Enterprise Growth Hub Manager at MFT, explains why this is the perfect location for start-ups, scale-ups and global corporates within life sciences, medtech, diagnostics, digital health, genomics and precision medicine.

The Jewish Standard profiled the innovative partnership between Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer and Liberty Science Center's SciTech Scity to launch Liberty ARC HealthSpace 2030 next year. HealthSpace 2030 will build a robust ecosystem connecting Israeli startups with New Jersey health care companies, hospitals, academic centers, pharmaceutical companies, and other partners to fuel the development of digital health breakthroughs. Ultimately, new technologies emerging from HealthSpace 2030 will promote healthy living, managing chronic diseases such as diabetes at home, and greater health equity. Core to HealthSpace 2030 is a next-generation simulation center that enables experts to test and refine new health technologies before they are piloted in Jersey City and beyond. The center leverages the leadership of Sheba’s MSR, Israel Center for Medical Simulation - a longtime Russell Berrie Foundation grantee - in driving innovation and designing the future of healthcare.  cc ARC Innovation, Prof. Amitai Ziv MD, MHA, Kim MacMillan American Friends of Sheba Medical Center, Brian Abrahams, Avner Halperin, Idana Goldberg, Ilan Kaufthal, Lisa Capelouto 

📣 SAVE THE DATE: Drexel Engineering is thrilled to welcome Steven E. Kern executive director of GH Labs, as he presents the Dr. Jeffrey S. Barrett '86 Endowed Lecture. 🏥 "Catalyzing Innovation toImprove Healthcare in LowResource Settings" 📅 Monday, May 6 | 2:30 p.m. | GHall 409 ℹ Global Health Labs innovates to co-create solutions that reduce health disparities, especially in low- and middle-income countries. As a nonprofit innovation lab fully funded by Gates Ventures, GHL partners with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other cross-sector leaders to help develop health technology solutions with the people who need them most. Critical to success in this effort is a strong appreciation for the context into which the innovation is intended to work and constraints (technical, financial, cultural) that will affect its impact. Kern will discuss how we develop an appreciation for this context and understand these constraints to bring ideas forward for addressing healthcare challenges in low resource settings using examples from our current portfolio of work that includes novel diagnostic tests and AI innovations.

Thrilled to share insights from a transformative workshop at Stanford University, March 11-13, 2024, that enriched my approach to human performance and rehab technologies. 🧠 Sit2Stand Project 🪑 Representing @neuroexcel_utep Co-presented with Leonardo Vinicius Thome Teixeira da Silva, we explored “Sit2Stand: Validity in Stroke and Aging Populations,” aiming to revolutionize movement support in clinical and home settings. 🔬 Stanford Workshop🔬 Thanks to the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, Restore, and Mobilize Centers, we joined forces with users of OpenSim, OpenSim Moco, OpenSense, and OpenCap. Immersive sessions fostered collaboration, showcased technology in action, and encouraged ongoing innovation. 💡 Key Learnings*💡 Collaboration: Opened new perspectives and solutions from other disciplines. Innovation: Highlighted the impact of our tools in rehab. Growth: Emphasized the importance of staying up-to-date. This event deepened my commitment to advancing our research studies. Grateful for this invaluable experience—here’s to future innovations and transformations! 📅 At Stanford University #HumanPerformance #RehabilitationTechnology #Innovation

Introducing the #S3EStart Research Projects 🌟 MIRALS 🦾 The solution: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, incurable neurodegenerative disorder characterised by a degeneration of motor neurons, with currently no viable treatment available. Using their very own patented inhibitor of miR-129 (an altered expression of microRNA-129 which plays a key role in neuronal processes), the MIRALS team aim to develop a novel therapeutic intervention that can improve the lives of more than 200,000 patients afflicted by ALS. 🧑🔬 The research team: Stefania Corti, Linda Ottoboni and Mafalda Rizzuti. TTOS: Margherita Chierici and Alessandro Cervi. 🔬 The institution involved: Ospedale Policlinico di Milano. MIRALS is one of the 14 projects selected to participate in the 2024 edition of S3E Start, the EU-funded program fostering deep tech research and entrepreneurship in Southern Europe. It's led by HiSeedTech, funded by European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and officially recognised by EIT Deep Tech Talent. 🤝 This team is being supported by S3E Start mentor Luis Gomes. Join us on our upcoming #OpenDay! Sign up to access the livestream on 18 June and watch the teams present their science-based tech projects live from Lisbon 🚀 https://lnkd.in/ec5yyMzY #EUfunded #DeepTech #DeepTechInnovation #FromLabToMarket #HealthTech #HealthcareInnovation #FutureOfHealthcare

UC Berkeley innovation was on full display at the inaugural Healthcare Conference Taipei hosted by Berkeley Public Health with partners at J.P. Morgan, Stanford, and the Regent Taipei Hotel. Thought leaders across UC Berkeley discussed their interdisciplinary efforts to combat Parkinson's Disease, revolutionize medicine through CRISPR technology, engage industry to improve clinical trials, and other health care tech innovations. Attendees included members of UC Berkeley's Innovative Genomics Institute, College of Letters & Science - Biological Sciences Division, College of Chemistry, The Forum for Collaborative Research, and more. Thank you to the many participating companies with Berkeley roots, whether you license Berkeley IP, count alumni or faculty among your leadership, have participated in UC Berkeley accelerator programs, or have received investment from Berkeley-affiliated venture capital funds: Berkeley SkyDeck, Bakar Labs, BEVC, Berkeley Frontier Fund, Rich Lyons, Laura Hassner, and Darren Cooke.

Last evening, I had the honor of delivering the keynote speech at The UW Engineering Innovation in Health Spring Symposium. My talk, titled "The Way of the Future: Driving Innovation in MedTech," focused on three key points: 1) Understanding Complex Interplay: I discussed the importance of recognizing the intricate relationships between disease pathology, the nuances of everyday clinical practice, and the unique opportunities that arise at the intersection of engineering, science, and medicine. Having this comprehensive understanding is essential for meaningful innovation. 2) Fostering Collaborative Environments: I emphasized that innovation thrives in environments that encourage collaboration, creativity, and diversity of thought. By bringing together different perspectives and expertise, we create an ecosystem where groundbreaking ideas flourish. 3) Persevering Through Adversity: I highlighted the significance of resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges. The path to innovation is often difficult, but it is through determination and persistence that we achieve transformative breakthroughs. It was a fantastic event, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my insights with such a passionate and engaged audience. Congratulations and well done to all of the student teams who presented their research posters and medical device prototypes. Thank you to ERIC SEIBEL, Per Reinhall, Shelby Brunke, Mike Sekins, and the entire EIH organization for hosting me. Your dedication to advancing health innovation at The University of Washington is inspiring! #UniversityOfWashington #UWEIH #MedTech #Innovation #Engineering #Health #Collaboration #Resilience #FutureOfMedicine #MedicalDevices #KeynoteSpeech
