The awards were announced by Governor Maura Healey during her remarks at the World Medical Innovation Forum. The Governor also announced new application rounds of MLSC programming for Research Infrastructure, Bits to Bytes, Novel Therapeutics Delivery, and the Women’s Health Initiative. The MLSC is adding an additional layer of equity to these returning programs during the application process, asking applicants to not only consider gender diversity, but other overlooked factors such as race, geography, and other social determinants of health.


BioSens8 is thrilled to be a host company on this initiative with Boston University to advance novel biosensors to help women monitor fertility at the point of care. BioSens8's CEO, Uroš Kuzmanović, said "I'm delighted to have MLSCs support to advance Women's Health initiatives and to continue working with a long time collaborator in Cathie Klapperich at Boston University, a relationship spanning nearly 10 years. Programs such as these are critical to delivering long overdue help to women and couples struggling with infertility. Not only will Boston University and BioSens8 advance their goals through this effort by establishing a CLIA certified testing facility, but the broader Boston ecosystem will benefit from such a resource. A special thank you to the MLSC and the state of Massachusetts for continuing to make this the premiere location to build generational life science companies."
