  17. Clinical Translational Sciences Institute 4) Organization Mr. Steve Gailar Metacyte

  18. From the Mind to the Marketplace Presented by: Steve Gailar President & CEO MetaCyte is a for-profit subsidiary of the UofL Foundation.

  19. MetaCyte History Is now operating as a for-profit subsidiary of the UofL Foundation MetaCyte Business Lab, LLC • Is a health and life science incubator • Was founded in 2002 by: • Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services, Inc. • Norton Healthcare, Inc. • UofL Health Care • University of Louisville

  20. Not Your Parent’s Incubator! MetaCyte creates “investment grade” start-up life science companies Think of MetaCyte as a “manufacturing” company whose products are life science and healthcare technology start-ups. We proactively identify raw material from the University of Louisville and turn that raw material into products—life science and healthcare technology start-ups. MetaCyte’s customers are professional investors in life science and healthcare technology companies.

  21. Our Goal — Create Fundable Companies MetaCyte takes an equity position in its portfolio companies at creation • We do our homework: • What is the market opportunity and who is already in it? • What do clinicians think about the technology? • What is the status of intellectual property? • Are there reimbursement issues? • What will the business model be? • What are the financial requirements? • What are the business/technical milestones important to investors? • And, importantly, what about the scientific founder?

  28. MCS Device - Project Funding Support National Institutes of Health – Heart, Lung, & Blood Institute SBIR 2R44HL083586-02A1 (Koenig) 8/1/2008 –7/31/2010 NIH-SBIR Phase II $1,440,170 Development of a Counterpulsation Therapy Device The major goals are to (1) complete engineering development and surgical procedures, (2) demonstrate reliability and hemocompatablity, and (3) demonstrate safety and biocompatibility of a novel counterpulsation device (CPD) to treat early stage heart failure. 1R43HL088760-01 (Koenig) 4/1/2009 –3/31/2011 NIH-SBIR - Phase II $1,580,486 Portable pneumatic driver for counterpulsation therapy The major goals of this project are to (1) complete engineering development, (2) demonstrate reliability and hemocompatablity, and (3) demonstrate safety and biocompatibility of a portable pneumatic driver for a novel counterpulsation device (CPD) to treat early stage heart failure. 1R43HL083586-01 (Koenig) 6/1/2006 – 1/31/2007 NIH-SBIR Phase I $172,749 A counterpulsation device to promote myocardial recovery The major goal of this project is to develop a novel 30ml, pneumatic counterpulsation device that will be cannulated to the subclavian artery to promote myocardial recovery by reducing ventricular workload and augmenting myocardial perfusion. 1R43HL088760-01 (Koenig) 8/1/2007 –7/31/2008 NIH-SBIR - Phase I $268,790 Portable pneumatic driver for counterpulsation therapy The major goal of this project is to develop a pneumatic driver for a 30-ml chronic counterpulsation device and compare acute physiologic responses to a clinical IABP in a large animal model. • Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation • KSTC-xx-DCIS-xxx (Koenig) 10/1/2008 –9/30/2009 • Kentucky Science and Technology Corp $500,000 • Implantable Sensing and Triggering System • The major goal of this project is to develop and test sensors and electronics for reliable measurement of ECG to be used a triggering system to time inflation and deflation of the membrane for a novel counterpulsation device (CPD) to treat heart failure. Testing will be conducted in a mock flow loop, and acute and chronic large animal model during hypertensive, hypotensive, and heart failure test conditions. • KSTC-184-512-07-011 (Koenig) 3/1/2007 –12/31/2007 • Kentucky Science and Technology Corp $100,000 • Counterpulsation device to promote myocardial recovery • The major goal of this project is to test a novel counterpulsation device (CPD) in three chronic 30-day CPD implant studies. The state of Kentucky provides grant support to match NIH SBIR phase I award to acquire additional preliminary data beyond the scope of the phase I award to support NIH SBIR phase II applications. • KSTC-02-DCIS-021 (Koenig) 10/1/2008 –2/28/2009 • Kentucky Science and Technology Corp $100,000 • Counterpulsation device to promote myocardial recovery • The major goal of this project is to complete two one-week and two 30-day chronic CPD implant experiments with portable pneumatic driver. The state of Kentucky provides grant support to match NIH SBIR phase I award to acquire additional preliminary data beyond the scope of the phase I award to support NIH SBIR phase II applications. • *Budget Tips $$$$$$$ • Ask for as much funding as you can justify • Request Indirect Costs (28%) • Request Fee (7%)

  29. NIH-SBIR Phase I Application Helpful Hints • Strategy - submissions • Tell-a-story • Less is More (graphics) • Innovation • Ready for Testing • Lots of Preliminary Data • Reasonable Goals • Clinical Application • Preliminary Commercialization Plan

  30. NIH-SBIR Phase II Application Helpful Hints • Accomplish/Exceed Phase I objectives • Commercialization Plan • Consider Industry Partner • Demonstrate high probability of success/product • Challenge/Solution • Define achievable metrics • Personnel and Resources • Budget Justification
