ValveXchange Licenses CU Tech for Personalized 3D Heart Modeling
Aurora-based ValveXchange Inc. recently executed a license agreement with the University of Colorado for a process to transform cardiac imaging data into high-quality three-dimensional models used for heart valve product development, clinician training, and pre-procedure planning. The CU technology converts data from routine medical imaging of soft tissues (ultrasounds and CT and MRI scans) into 3D models, which are then transformed into physical models using 3D printers. ValveXchange will use the technology in conjunction with its implantable heart valve program. (Clink the link above to read the full release).

Colorado Report on Higher Education and Entrepreneurship Released
In early November, CU’s Silicon Flatirons Center and the Governor’s Innovation Council released Higher Education and Entrepreneurship in Colorado (PDF), a report that examines entrepreneurship education at Colorado’s institutions of higher learning, and suggests ways to further promote it and the economic growth it brings. One key finding is that Colorado’s universities and federal laboratories train the next generation of entrepreneurs and incubate their spinoff ventures, contributing to the Front Range’s status as a “mega-region” – one of a dozen locales that together yield two thirds of global economic activity and 90% of innovation.
