Blueprint MedTech Program

Two incubator hubs, CIMIT’s CINTA and NeuroTech Harbor, through the NIH Blueprint MedTech program, are currently seeking proposals from academic and industry applicants who have emerging technologies that aim to improve the diagnosis and/or treatment of nervous system disorders.

A major emphasis of this program is to create opportunities for diverse innovators, including those who have been traditionally underrepresented in the neurotech space.

Program Details:

  • Awards up to $500K to help support development toward commercialization.
  • Mentorship from experienced commercialization experts
    Support to address business, regulatory, clinical, and technical project aspects

Pre-proposals are due no later than October 24th. Learn more and apply: https://blueprintneurotech.org/

The company's pipeline includes a capsule microbiome therapeutic designed to cure Cdiff by restoring a community of protective bacteria. Dr. Gerard Honig, CEO of Symbiotic Health, presented on behalf of the company. Stephen M. Goodman, Co-founder of Mid Atlantic Bio Angels and a partner at Pryor Cashman LLP in New York City, also a panelist at the event said Dr. Honig's pitch and responses to questions demonstrated both mastery of the competitive space and a willingness to address challenges to his analysis calmly and directly. His style, as well as his substance, exemplified the maxim that it's not just the business plan but the management that ultimately brings a company success.
