  • Knee-deep in meniscus redesign: the story of Atlanta’s OrthoPreserve

    There are 1.4 million meniscus procedures performed in the US and Europe every single year. Most of those are meniscetomy which is when the meniscus is removed. The problem is that once it is gone, so is the cushioning that protects the knee joint and cartilage, accelerating arthritis. A quarter of people continue to have pain after a few years. Millions of people have this procedure and it’s not the best answer.

  • Meet the Reluctant Founder who is waging war on Antibiotic Resistant Infections!

    Our guest today is another Atlanta luminary, Dr. Marvin

    Whiteley, the founder and CSO of SynthBiome, Inc. Deaths are expected to increase over the next 20-30 years due to antibiotic resistant infections.

     

    It’s common for people to go into the hospital for something innocuous, get an infection, and find that the bacterium doesn’t respond to antibiotic. There are strains infecting people outside of clinical settings, as well. As there are millions of deaths caused by this each year, the alarm bells are starting to go off because we are not developing a lot of new antibiotics.

    How can this trend be stopped?
