MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

As reported in MedCity News ... Polaris Ventures co-founder Terry McGuire was recently named the new chairman of the National Venture Capital Association.

Polaris focuses in part on the life sciences and McGuire himself is a longtime investor in health care. All three of the companies he started were in the life sciences and that remains his focus at Polaris...

...McGuire pointed out in a recent interview

"With the incredible advancements in genomics, computational power and miniaturization, we are arguably entering into a golden age of innovation in life sciences (which encompasses healthIT, medical devices, diagnostics, and touches adjacent areas such as materials science and robotics."

Having an NVCA chairman steeped in health investment, at a time when the US Government is looking to re-engineer the health care system may be good timing.
