UNO Biomechanics named Innovator of Year

October 29, 2018 Comments (1) Innovation Week, News Like

Founding chair of the department, Nick Stergiou, Ph.D., accepts the 2018 Innovator of Year award on behalf of UNO’s Biomechanics Department, which was awarded the honor during the 2018 Innovation Awards on Oct. 25, 2018.

OMAHA, Nebraska (Oct. 29, 2018)—The University of Nebraska at Omaha highlighted the 12^th installment of the annual Innovation Awards Banquet Thursday night at the Stanley Truhlsen Events Center. In a break from tradition, UNO’s Biomechanics program became the first department to claim the Innovator of Year award.

Sponsored and hosted by UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for the University of Nebraska Medical Center and UNO, the awards ceremony also honored a Most Promising New Invention Award and a Startup of the Year. An estimated audience of 183 attended the event.

Each year UNeMed celebrates the discoveries and creations that emanate from UNMC and UNO with an awards ceremony that honors all faculty, students and staff who submit a new invention, secure a United States Patent or sign a licensing agreement with an industrial partner during the previous fiscal year.

This year, UNeTech also presented its first-ever award, the Startup of the Year. UNeTech is the university’s startup accelerator and incubator program, which was established about a year ago to help nurture early stage technologies and fledgling startup companies with university ties.

UNMC and UNO Chancellor Jeffry Gold, M.D., (far left) and UNeMed CEO and President Michael Dixon (far right) are seen here with inventors of the 2018 Most Promising New Invention, Catherine Gebhart, Ph.D., and Varun Kesharwani, Ph.D., during the 2018 Innovation Awards on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018, at the Stanley Truhlsen Events Center at UNMC.

Centese, Inc., was named the Startup of the Year. Led and co-founded by Nebraska native Evan Luxon, Centese is poised to bring to market Thoraguard, a medical device that automatically clears chest tube blockages. Centese is awaiting final FDA approval, which could soon put Thoraguard on the market.

Collaborators Catherine Gebhart, Ph.D., and Varun Kesharwani, Ph.D., took home the Most Promising New Invention award. They developed a test that detects four types of human herpes virus. Their approach also minimizes the risk of false negatives.

The test has already attracted outside interest with Omaha’s Streck, a local biotech company specializing in medical testing systems. Streck and UNeMed will soon sign a sponsored research agreement that will help advance the technology.

Each year the Most Promising New Invention is awarded to “an innovation with the highest potential to benefit the public good.”

The top prize was claimed by Nicholas Stergiou, Ph.D., who accepted the Innovator of the Year award on behalf of his Biomechanics Department at UNO.

Evan Luxon (middle) was presented with the first-ever Startup of the Year Award as the co-founder of Centese, Inc.

Dr. Stergiou is the founding chair of the Biomechanics Department, which has produced a remarkable portfolio of innovations that could all have significant impacts in healthcare in the coming years.

Among those innovations is a gait analysis system that can look at the way people walk and determine the risk of falls in the elderly or other frail patients. Another innovation uses the subtle fluctuations as person balances themselves to detect concussion and potentially other traumatic brain injuries. Another program is building low-cost, 3D-printed prosthetic limbs and cybernetics. And yet another program could predict sudden onset of life-threatening symptoms for sufferers of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder or COPD.

Former pharmaceutical executive, Prabhavathi Fernandes, Ph.D., delivers an insightful seminar, “Moving into the pharmaceutical industry—can the dark side be bright for you?” during 2018 Innovation Week.

The Innovation Awards is a part of UNeMed’s Innovation Week, which began with a Kick-off event on Monday in the DRC. There UNeMed staffers handed out T-shirts, doughnuts, first aid kits and other freebies. Innovation Week concluded on Friday with a free seminar about alternate science careers in the pharmaceutical industry and the 3D-printing Invent-a-thon.

UNeMed releases 2018 annual report

October 22, 2018 Comments (0) News Like

Nebraska (Oct. 22, 2018)—UNeMed released today its 2018 annual report.

The report details UNeMed’s key metrics, and highlights notable achievements during the fiscal year ending in 2018.

In an open letter to readers, UNeMed President and CEO Michael Dixon, Ph.D., notes the addition of innovation and discoveries from the University of Nebraska at Omaha as the most important change during the year. UNeMed has been the technology transfer and commercialization office for the University of Nebraska Medical Center since 1991. During that time, UNeMed had occasionally worked with UNO inventors, but a new services agreement in December 2017 made UNeMed the official tech transfer office for all UNO inventions and discoveries.

That change had a dramatic impact on UNeMed’s key metrics, as Dixon pointed out in the annual report:

“In a little more than six months, UNO’s innovative faculty, students and staff submitted 27 new inventions. Remarkable,” he said.

Dixon also highlighted the collaborative work that UNO and UNMC researchers are developing, including work on healthcare related software, vaccines and biomechanical applications.

“It’s clear to me that bringing UNeMed and UNO together was one great leap toward helping two campuses scale barriers to greater summits and more fruitful collaborations in the near and distant future,” he said.

The letter also reports UNeMed’s recent successes with licensing patented technologies. Dixon placed particular emphasis on securing license agreements for 15 of 21 technologies that were awarded U.S. patents in 2018.

“That is significant,” he said. “It means that more than 70 percent of those protected technologies have intense market interest…In a broader context, I’m proud to report that our overall patent portfolio is 67 percent licensed to industrial partners.”

The annual report also highlights UNeMed’s educational activities, including its annual Tech Transfer Boot Camp program and the 2017 Innovation Week festivities. The report also details all of UNeMed’s important metrics, and covered UNO’s Capstone program, a story that was featured on UNeMed.com earlier this summer.

Finally, several key technologies currently available for licensing are also included in the report.

The report can be viewed online, and printed copies are also available. Contact UNeMed to receive a free printed copy.
