We discover, develop and deliver the next frontier of biomedical technologies for better patient treatment and quality of life
We partner with clinicians to identify unmet clinical needs and develop innovative devices and therapies. Within the translational research continuum, we conduct fundamental research, rigorous preclinical studies and early clinical trials, and facilitate translation to clinical or industrial applications. Our work delivers impact through improved outcomes for patients with conditions including musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic wounds, and more.
