Media share 2023 MIRTA cohort
MaineBiz and the Bangor Daily News shared that the University of Maine’s MIRTA accelerator program through the Foster Center for Innovation has selected five teams for its 2023 cohort. The 2023 projects will develop research innovations in photovoltaic and color changing fabric; a new technology in catheterization to reduce infection in long-term patients; custom-made medical ports for stuffed animals so children can cope with the stress of similar medical procedures for themselves or siblings; a novel nontoxic fire suppressant foam used in fire fighting; and a computer system that can scan pulp for anomalies at the source.
