New Member Update ... Who Are You? ... What Do You Do? ... Let Us Know! (June 2009)

[CC...Conrad Clyburn (Clymer Grp)]

Colleagues,

In the continuing quest to accelerate our collective abilities to translate medical technology from laboratory to market, we are continuing to develop the 3C's of "Content, Community & Collaboration" for the "MedTech-IQ" community, which continues to grow steadily.

Please find below our new Members. As is our custom, we stratify them by their self identified choice of "Triple Helix" sector ... Academia, Industry or Government.

You will also notice, that the "MedTech-IQ" community continues to expand internationally, as well. New members have come not only from throughout the United States, but also Norway, Tanzania, Finland, India, Iran, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Germany, Ireland, Ethiopia, Greece, and Canada ...

A wonderful development. We are truly becoming a global community of "MedTechologists"!

Remember, you can employ the various "MedTech-IQ" Search Boxes to efficiently find who & what you are looking for. Universal search can be found in the upper right hand corner of the "MedTech-IQ" homepage. Sectional searches can be found at the Members, Blogs, Videos, Photos, Meetings, Groups and MarketPlace homepages.

We believe in the adage of ... "Making Everything Available ... Then Helping You Find It!" Now, please welcome our new Members.

ENJOY!
