Tech Launch Arizona will host a research forum at the Medical Research Building on the UA Health Sciences campus Thursday, Oct. 19, noon-1 p.m., that puts the spotlight on Avery Therapeutics Inc., a Tucson start-up company that holds the license on a tissue-engineered cardiac graft to treat heart failure.

The stem cell heart patch, MyCardia™ was developed at the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center. The UA BIO5 Institute also has assisted in this translational project.
Avery is headed by Jen Watson, Koevary, PhD, chief operating officer, Jordan Lancaster, PhD, chief scientific officer, and Steve Goldman, MD, chief medical officer and a UA professor of medicine and research scientist with the Sarver Heart Center. Drs. Goldman and Lancaster co-founded the company in 2013.
Dr. Goldman presented on this topic also during Medicine Grand Rounds on Oct. 26, 2016 (click to view). Avery Therapeutics also was the subject of a BizTucson magazine article this summer.
