A research team from the Stony Brook Medicine Department of Surgery has secured a victory in the Life Sciences category at the Long Island High Tech Incubator’s (LIHTI) Venture Champions (VC) Challenge. The team, led by Associate Professor Gurtej Singh, PhD, developed a high-tech wound-care solution and advanced healing patch.
“Winning the VC Challenge feels like a launchpad for our vision,” said Singh. “It’s not just a win — it’s a step closer to revolutionizing wound care with cutting-edge innovation.” He also noted that this achievement would bolster their credentials in future grant applications.
The VC Challenge aims to identify innovative ventures and serves as an initial platform for teams beginning the development phase, aiding them through the commercialization process.
Singh and graduate student Shi Fu presented their work titled “Transforming Wound Care through Vascular Innovation.” Their product is designed for wound care and regenerative medicine, targeting burn centers, wound care clinics, plastic and reconstructive surgeons as primary customers, while patients with severe skin injuries, burns, and chronic wounds are the end users.
