- Problem: Chemotherapy isn’t effective; it also kills
healthy cells. Encapsulation lets drugs target cancer cells, but is a slow, expensive manufacturing process. We replace the process with a single chip.
- Market: There is a $7.4 billion market of drugs currently
being encapsulated. We sell to pharma companies and clinical trials to incorporate cost-efficient encapsulation into their manufacturing.
- Founders: Niyathi Chakrapani (business & biology),
Anirudh Kaushik (mechanical engineering), Juhanna Robberts (engineering & biology)
- Looking for: Seed funds, experts in microfluidics or
pharmaceuticals to validate our technology.

SLIDE 7 Ostiio Devices
- Novel, ‘smart’ bone-expanders for use in the pediatric skull.
- Problem: A variety of birth defects require boney expansion to
recapitulate normal anatomy. Current devices that achieve this protrude through the patient’s skin for months after the
- peration, and function like a car-jack. This primitive design
leads to significant morbidity and very low satisfaction.
- Market: Cranio-maxillofacial fixation/distraction ($150 million)
- Inventors/Founders:
- Dr. Jesse A. Taylor, Pediatric Plastic Surgeon
- Ari M. Wes, Research Fellow, Medical Student
- We are currently looking for additional funding, as we continue
- ur prototyping efforts and move towards animal testing.
