In this photo taken Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Wayne Losey, co-founder of Dynamo DevLabs, speaks about 3D printing during the Hardware Innovation Workshop in San Mateo, Calif. With the printers users make whatever they like, iPad stands, guitars, jewelry, someone even made a rifle. About the size of a microwave oven, the printers usually extrude plastic, layer upon layer, to create objects. Sales are projected to jump from about $1.7 billion in 2011 to $3.7 billion in 2015.

Mackenzies Chocolates, a confectioner in Santa Cruz, uses a 3-D printer to pump out chocolate molds. And earlier this year, Cornell University researchers used a 3-D printer, along with injections of a special collagen gel, to create a human-shaped ear. Users are able to make just about anything they like: iPad stands, guitars, jewelry, even guns. In the past two years, the U.S. Northeast States: Companies find minds are a wonderful thing to employ.

Watson Pharmaceuticals will establish a 50-person global R&D center at the New Jersey Technology Centre, which is also home to the Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) and Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG) operations of Rutgers University, housed in this building. Photo courtesy of Rutgers here are reasons that New Jersey (second), New York (sixth) and Pennsylvania (ninth) all place among the top 10 states in total R&D. Certainly the region's strength in the nation's leading R&D recipient sector, chemicals, and its pharmaceuticals subsector is one: Company-funded pharmaceuticals R&D alone, at $45.2 billion, accounted for nearly 16 percent of all U.S.
R&D in 2008 (the most recent year for which National Science Foundation data is available). The 2012 Global R&D Funding Forecast from Battelle and R&D Magazine calls for business spending on R&D to increase in 2012 by 3.8 percent. Some are not so new, but plenty innovative. The Public Policy Institute of New York State, Inc. Ithaca Entreprenuerial Hub Feasibility Analysis. Lean LaunchPad for Life Sciences – Value Proposition and Customers. We’re deep into teaching a Lean LaunchPad class for Life Sciences and Health Care (therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and digital health) at UCSF with a team of veteran venture capitalists.
(The class has talked to 1,440 customers to date.) One of the objectives of the class was to become a Life Science Center of Excellence for the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps. This meant capturing domain specific commercialization expertise for therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and digital health so others can teach this. Part 1 of this post described the issues in the therapeutics drug discovery pipeline. Part 2 covered medical devices and digital health. Part 3 described what we’re going to do about it. Part 4 gave a snapshot of what one our teams found the first week outside the building. This is an update of our progress. It Takes A VillageWe’re teaching 110 students in 28 teams across therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and digital health. The framework of the class looks like this: Crowdsourcing for market research, innovation and brand development - Chaordix. About IFTTT.

Facility could boost big, small biotech firms Austin Technology Incubator is proposing a $60 million to $80 million wet-laboratory incubator that it said could rapidly accelerate the biotechnology industry in Central Texas. The proposal for such an incubator is the result of a yearlong study, funded partly by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, that identified a lack of wet-lab space in Austin.
The ATI report estimates Austin needs to add 60,000 square feet of wet-lab space — space where chemistry can be conducted — during the next five years just to meet the demand from the existing 130 or so biotech companies in Central Texas. ATI, a program under the University of Texas’ IC2 Institute, is using the recent report to bolster its case for a wet-lab incubator. An incubator could have an annual economic impact of $40 million to $110 million and create 275 to 740 direct jobs and 415 to 1,095 indirect jobs, the report estimates. There are other signs of wet-lab demand. Thinking In New Boxes. Rules | What Are The Three Rules?
