TAIPEI, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The High-Value Biomaterials Research and Commercialization Center (HBRCC) at “National Taipei University of Technology” (NTUT) on July 26 held an international forum at the 2024 Bio Asia-Taiwan. The event gathered renowned biomaterial experts from across the globe, including Professor Takanori Ichiki from Tokyo University, Professor Yasuhiko Tabata from Kyoto University, Professor Yu-Chen Hu from “National Tsing Hua University“, Professor Haytam Kasem from Azrieli College of Engineering Jerusalem, Professor Maziar Ramezani from Auckland University of Technology, and Deputy Director Lun-De Liao of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Nanomedicine (IBEN) at “National Health Research Institutes” (NHRI). Presided over by HBRCC Director Hsu-Wei Fang, the forum focused on models for international collaboration in biomaterials and sharing of experiences in industry-academia cooperation by the attending experts, with the aim of strengthening cross-border exchanges and jointly advancing research in the field of biomaterials.

NTUT and NHRI Ink MOU on Deepening Collaboration to Jointly Promote Taiwan’s Biomedical Industry
At the event, experts witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between NTUT and NHRI to promote academic and talent exchanges and to jointly advance technology transfer. Director Hsu-Wei Fang stated that the HBRCC has been working closely with NHRI in technology transfer projects, with successes including patents on an artificial tear solution in Japan and Taiwan, as well as assisting the NHRI in planning the commercialization of the research outcome. Director Fang expressed hopes that the MOU will spark new opportunities in Taiwan’s biomaterials field. IBEN Director Lun-De Liao said that the NHRI is Taiwan’s leading medical and biomedical research institute, and that the MOU with NTUT’s HBRCC will bring closer collaboration in technical research, talent cultivation and technology transfer, bringing new momentum to joint efforts on propelling biomedical research and academia-industry collaborations.

3P Model to Further Enhance Technology Transfer and Development of Taiwan’s Biomaterial Industry
Director Hsu-Wei Fang stated that assisting professors in commercializing their findings into products has been a perennial question at his institution, which is in particularly challenging in biomedicine due to regulatory, safety, and efficacy considerations. He also noted that many countries and universities have different approaches to technology transfer. Deputy Director Lun-De Liao stated that the 3P (Public-Private Partnerships) model can potentially transform the mindset on academia-industry collaborations, bring greater benefits to both sides and advance Taiwan’s biomaterials industry. Deputy Director Liao also expressed hopes to drive Taiwan’s industry development with the 3P model.

Taiwan, Japan, Israel, New Zealand to Strengthen Exchanges, Competitiveness Leveraging Taiwan’s Industry Advantages
Professor Kasem suggested that international exchanges could start with joint authorship of papers between researchers of Israel and Taiwan, and later progress to joint efforts at securing patents to attract commercialization opportunities. On education, the two sides could establish joint courses to keep students abreast of global academic and industry trends as well as enhance their global vision and hands-on capabilities. Professor Maziar Ramezani recommended Taiwan to work with top global institutions and participate in global research networks, as well as ink bilateral agreements with countries excelling in biomedical research to deepen collaborations and elevate Taiwan’s competitiveness. He also recommended Taiwan to leverage its advantages in the semiconductor and electronics sectors to gain an edge in the biomedical field.

Professor Ichiki stated that Japan and Taiwan have been collaborating in the semiconductor sector, and that Taiwan’s long-standing focus on nanotechnology will be key to advancing its biomedical industry and deepening collaboration with Japan. Professor Ichiki emphasized that students should familiarize themselves with domain knowledge to lower obstacles to academic-industry collaborations as well as broaden their resources and professional networks. In conclusion, Professor Yu-Chen Hu stated that most of the industry-academia collaborations in Taiwan are small-scale and mainly focused on addressing specific industry bottlenecks, and that such efforts should scale up to larger projects to better encourage joint development of innovative technologies or new drugs. However, he said that despite Taiwan’s strengths in R&D, its biomanufacturing capabilities lags behind South Korea, China, and Singapore. To address this concern, strengthening biomanufacturing should be prioritized to ensure that Taiwan has the domestic capacity to develop and manufacture drugs.

NTUT’s HBRCC Hoping for New Global Horizons Through International Collaboration
Director Fang stated that founded during the Japanese occupation, NTUT is a century-old institution and that 10% of alumni currently hold leadership positions in Taiwan’s publicly traded companies. He said that the university emphasizes both theory and practice as well as focuses on achieving technology transfer, adding that further improvements in resource integration, market insights are needed to accelerate development and build new Taiwanese brands. Noting that the HBRCC is well experienced in technology transfer, Director Fang said that he is looking forward to collating the attending experts’ insights and forming closer international collaborations to jointly open new horizons in the global biomedical industries.

After nearly two years in business, Dr. Ashley Milhizer’s Tempe-based center for naturopathic medicine and aesthetics has experienced the type of growth that rival industry titans. Real Results Medical & Aesthetics – soon to be opening a second location in Scottsdale in early 2025 – has seen an impressive 300% growth since opening their doors in March 2023.

TEMPE, Ariz., Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After nearly two years in business, Dr. Ashley Milhizer’s Tempe-based center for naturopathic medicine and aesthetics has experienced the type of growth that rival industry titans. Real Results Medical & Aesthetics – soon to be opening a second location in Scottsdale in early 2025 – has seen an impressive 300% growth since opening their doors in March 2023.

Aside from patient referrals and cutting-edge technology, Milhizer credits social media as one of the biggest avenues for growth. “Between TikTok and Instagram we’ve amassed over 25,000 followers and that accounts for about 70% of our new business.”

Aside from patient referrals and cutting-edge technology, Milhizer credits social media as one of the biggest avenues for growth. “Between TikTok and Instagram we’ve amassed over 25,000 followers and that accounts for about 70% of our new business,” said Dr. Ashley Milhizer, Founder of Real Results Medical & Aesthetics.

On both platforms, Dr. Milhizer shares educational videos and insights into various medical & aesthetic procedures. Her engaging content not only highlights the quality of care she provides but also educates her audience on the latest trends and treatments in the field.

Originally from Michigan, and a graduate of UC Davis and the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences, it was Dr. Milhizer’s personal experience in seeing how natural remedies can significantly impact the body that inspired her to get into the field.

“While I was in school, a friend of mine was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and was given up to 18 months to live and I became determined to research every kind of remedy that could potentially help,” said Dr. Milhizer. “From a healthy diet, supplements and a host of other naturopathic strategies, we tried everything we could find and two months later he was in remission, and he’s still alive today.”

The power of naturopathic remedies, following an early career path in sports medicine – which enabled her to work with some of the state’s top professional athletes – is what led her to forming Real Results Medical & Aesthetics. The company’s broad depth of services is also what allowed her to expand her reach of clientele beyond athletes to everyone from the Valley’s elite CEOs and stay at home Moms to patients ranging from their early 20s to upper 80s.

The naturopathic services offered at Real Results Medical & Aesthetics include hormone optimization, peptide therapy, IV therapy, natural pain relief, weight loss, food allergy testing and overall diagnostic testing. While the aesthetics side of the business offers services such as hair restoration, skin resurfacing, botox, fillers, microneedling, RF Plasma skin resurfacing, laser treatments, vein removal and body contouring.

Mid-inclination orbit provides more SAR-imaging opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe for ICEYE customers.

HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation and persistent monitoring, announced today that it has launched two new satellites to its constellation of SAR satellites. Both satellites expand the availability of ICEYE’s latest imaging technology to deliver additional 25 cm imaging capacity. The satellites were integrated via Exolaunch and launched as part of the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA. Both satellites have established communication, and early routine operations are underway. With today’s launch, ICEYE has successfully launched 40 satellites into orbit since 2018, with nine satellites launched in 2024 alone.

The new SAR satellites were launched into mid-inclination orbits; compared to a polar orbit, these mid-inclination orbits provide more than twice the collection opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe. ICEYE customers have many areas of interest in these middle latitudes (+/- 45 degrees), and these customers will benefit from increased persistence over these regions. Customers with imaging interests outside these middle latitudes will continue to benefit from the frequent revisit enabled by ICEYE’s dozens of satellites in polar orbits. ICEYE’s unique mix of mid-inclination and polar orbits provides its customers with deep revisit capabilities for targets all around the globe. The new satellites will serve ICEYE’s commercial missions as part of the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation owned and operated by ICEYE.

Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE said: “This launch marks another significant milestone in ICEYE’s ability to provide our customers with a rich diversity of collection opportunities. We bolster our industry-leading SAR constellation and expand our customers’ collection opportunities in the areas most important to them.”

Today’s launch is another step forward in ICEYE’s steady drumbeat of innovative breakthroughs in Earth Observation. This year alone, ICEYE has, for example, introduced Dwell Precise, a new 25 cm imaging mode that offers its customers the highest-fidelity 25cm imaging capability, and adds advanced capability to ICEYE’s line of Dwell products; launched an API that allows customers to directly task its SAR satellite constellation; and launched ICEYE Ocean Vision to provide actionable intelligence for maritime domain awareness.
