OMAHA, Neb. (Oct. 5, 2016)—Innovation Week continues this afternoon when the fourth annual UNMC Technology Demonstration Day begins at 4 p.m. in the Michael F. Sorrell Center’s amphitheater.

Demo Day will feature six biomedical startups and technologies that were either invented at the University of Nebraska Medical Center or are collaborations with UNMC researchers.

The presentations are planned to be short, 10-minutes explanations of the technologies in easy-to-understand terms that the non-expert can understand. Among the technologies to be highlighted are new therapeutic strategies for T. gondii infections, autoimmune disorders, high blood pressure and neurodegenerative diseases. Other technologies include 3D printed prosthetic limbs, improved catheters, and a concussion detection platform.

More details about all presentations can be found here.

Demo Day is the final opportunity for UNMC faculty, students and staff to enter the 3D printer prize drawing. The drawing will be held during the Innovation Awards ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 6, and entrants must be present to win.
