ATI is a medical device company with the purpose of bringing a new neurovascular device (NeuroCURE) to clinical trials and potentially to the marketplace for treatment of aneurysms.As of February 2019: Currently has NIH STTR Phase II funding, in collaboration with NAU, and is currently working with the FDA on a submission for a NeuroCURE IDE. Seeking.

Providing expertise in research design, standardization, translational research avenues, FDA submissions, patenting, and funding/grant submissions. Involved in identifying company investment opportunities.

Transferred my research, manufacturing, intellectual property, FDA, and clinical trail knowledge for an endovascular medical device I developed at my startup company to the aquiring company - WL Gore & Associates.Attended first clinical case as the device expert and clinical advisor to the Neurosurgeon that used the device (GEL) in the very first patient.

Co-founder of NIT and founding Board Member; Developed initial business plan, including market research, regulatory issues, and strategyDesigned clinical trials, prepared pre-clinical data for Investigation Device Exemption (IDE) submissions, obtained FDA IDE Approval to begin a device clinical trial with ALGEL.Trained Neurosurgeons in the US and Europe to.

Conducted mechanical testing and fluid-flow modeling for the injection and occlusion of blood vessel models with hydrogel.Designed and coordinated animal studies on aneurysms and AVMs models for long-term stability and biocompatibility of endovascular treatments.Developed new hydrogel material for use as dural sealant for use with chronic neuroprobes –.

Helped identify calcium alginates for endovascular applicationsIdentified, purified, and ptimized calcium alginates for delivery via microcatheters into blood vessels under fluoroscopic guidance.Developed fluid-flow modeling techniques and mechanical testing procedures for the injection and occlusion of blood vessel models with calcium alginates.Designed.
