Presentation- iValue: The Biological Pacemaker
Columbia University is developing a biological pacemaker for human use, offering a cure, rather than the palliation provided by electronic pacemakers, for heart arrhythmia. It uses encapsulated stem cells transfected with the pacemaking gene, which is a path-breaking approach to the treatment of disease. The presenting organization has assembled an intellectual property portfolio of a dozen essential patents and know-how on related nanotechnology; a consortium of top US and EU scientists/clinicians including access to clinical trial facilities; government grants from an EU country; and executives with US Food and Drug Administration and European regulatory experience. Its approach is highly capital efficient and applies the concept of open innovation.
