This will be Future Worlds’ first appearance at a European trade show, offering an exclusive chance for the continent’s industry leaders to preview three medical innovations being supported by the University’s on-campus incubator:
- Renovos is a new orthopaedic regenerative medicine business that offers a range of products, services and therapeutics for bone healing. The spinout, which is commercialising world-class research taking place at the University, harnesses nanoclay gel technology for quicker, safer and more cost-effective bone repair.
- SharkStream is a full-body motion capture system, which allows users to accurately record and display movement without the need for a green screen or camera. Data fusion algorithms on each sensor combine accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer readings to report an accurate orientation of over a dozen nodes 100 times a second. SharkStream has applications in medical rehabilitation, as well as film making, performance sports and many other industries.
- Trimunocor is a spinout from the University and the Medical Research Council. It’s combating neonatal chronic lung disease through a patented technology that synthetically produces large quantities of an essential anti-inflammatory protein. Its product will also be suitable for the asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease markets, currently worth £30b annually.
BioFIT is the leading partnering event in Europe for technology transfer, academia-industry collaborations and early-stage innovations in the field of Life Sciences.
