Bringing Medical Innovations Into Health Care Through a Commercial Entity
Since 2006, the University of Michigan Coulter Program has been funding collaborative translational research between Engineering and Clinical faculty co-investigators. The goal of the . program is to accelerate development and commercialization of new medical devices, diagnostics, and other biomedical product concepts that address unmet clinical needs and lead to improvements in healthcare.
Coulter metrics for success involve developing new product concepts to the point of partnering with industry or forming start-up companies with follow-on investor funding to commercialize new products envisioned from translational research efforts.
