Episode 55: Droplet Jul 04, 2019

Show notes

Droplet is a research and design company focused on creating a platform that builds biodegradable microspheres for targeted drug delivery into a patient’s body. ASU biomedical engineering students Sheldon Cummings, Rex Moore, Byron Alarcon, and Levi Riley are working on the process for making these microspheres. The microspheres are one piece of the larger puzzle of targeted drug delivery, which has been baffling the medical field for years. Droplet was formed from the desire to engage in use-inspired research, which means research that has direct impact on people in the “real world”. Join us this week as we get a glimpse inside the world of sci-fi-level innovation, and how this group of students succeeded in building a research and development company by very strategically focusing on building solutions for one part of a much larger challenge.

Episode 54: AmSO BodyFIT Yoga Mat Jun 27, 2019

Show notes

The AmSO BodyFIT yoga mat was created as part passion project, part design challenge, and part desire to help others. Student Alicia Lim has always engaged in physical fitness, but struggled with finding her career path…until she realized the best way forward was to be true to herself. Combining her passion for physical health with her eye for design, she didn’t set out to be “innovative” – instead, she wanted to make yoga and physical fitness more accessible to people who may otherwise be intimidated. Join us as we follow Alicia on her path in taking an idea from concept to selling a product on Amazon.

They asked themselves “What if there was an app for that?”…And the idea took off from there!
