Research is so critical to the field of surgery worldwide. But how does the world of academic surgery compare in the UK? Join BTK fellow Jon Williams and ASGBI partner Jared Wohlgemut  for another installment of our BTK/ASGBI collaborative series where we take a deep dive investigating the many facets of surgical research–everything from getting started, funding, collaboration, mentorship, and sage advice from two incredibly successful academic surgeons. Professor Susan Moug represents the UK while Dr. Lesly Dossett represents the US in this excellent episode for any trainee or surgeon who is academically-inclined. After listening, you get to decide–who does it better?? UK or US? Professor Moug is an Honorary Professor at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. She is a Consultant Colorectal and Robotic surgeon at Golden Jubilee National University Hospital in Clydebank, and at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Scotland. She is also the Director of Research for the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland since 2021, and the Surgical Specialty Lead for Colorectal Research at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. She has been awarded a Senior Fellowship from the Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government, and was the chief investigator for the Emergency Laparotomy in Frailty multicentre study, and the No-Laps follow-on study. Essentially, she is one of the leading researchers in emergency surgery in the UK, having been awarded over 1 million in grant funding for this under-researched and underfunded area. Dr. Dossett is an associate professor and surgical oncologist at the University of Michigan. After completing her undergraduate degree at Western Kentucky University, She completed both medical school and her general surgery residency at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, during which she obtained an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality training grant as well as a Masters in Public Health during research time. Following residency, she served as an active duty staff surgeon in the US Navy for several years before pursuing surgical oncology fellowship training at Moffitt Cancer Center. In 2016 she came on to University of Michigan as faculty and has since held numerous academic leadership roles both institutionally and nationally, including vice chair for faculty development, chief of the division of surgical oncology, and president of the Surgical Outcomes Club. Dr. Dossett has an impressive portfolio of research work focusing on implementation and de-implementation of comprehensive cancer care, which is funded through multiple NIH grants.  If you enjoyed this episode, stay tuned for more upcoming BTK/ASGBI collaborative content.

Ondine Biomedical Inc President and Chief Technology Officer Nicolas Loebel and Matt Ross, Vice President of Sales and Marketing joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting news regarding the expansion of Ondine's Steriwave nasal photodisinfection technology within the healthcare sector. Alberta Health Services has confirmed its decision to expand the use of Steriwave nasal photodisinfection following promising data from its pilot introduction at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute. The pilot project demonstrated significant reductions in surgical site infections following cardiac surgery. Ross provided more details about the successful pilot project and shared that the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton is set to implement Steriwave nasal photodisinfection before performing 3,000 orthopedic surgeries over the next year. The interest from hospitals across Canada and internationally has been increasing, leading to faster adoption of the platform. Loebel also highlighted the latest data from Vancouver General Hospital and UBC Hospital, which showed a remarkable 66.5% reduction in spine surgery infection rates with the pre-surgical use of Steriwave. These findings were presented at the IP2023 Annual conference in Liverpool in October and have been accepted for publication in the Canadian Journal of Surgery. In summary, Ondine Biomedical Inc, under the leadership of Nicolas Loebel and Matt Ross, is making significant strides in advancing its Steriwave nasal photodisinfection technology within the healthcare sector. The successful pilot projects and promising data underscore the potential for this technology to reduce surgical site infections and improve patient outcomes in a range of surgical procedures, including cardiac and orthopedic surgeries. This progress positions Ondine Biomedical Inc as a key player in infection prevention and healthcare innovation. #proactiveinvestors #ondinebiomedicalinc #lse #obi #steriwave #infection #antimicrobialresistance #HealthcareInnovation #InfectionControl #MedicalTechnology #SurgicalInfections #NasalPhotodisinfection #MedicalAdvancements #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #HealthcareSolutions #ClinicalEffectiveness #PatientSafety #SpineSurgery #MedicalResearch #GlobalHealth #HospitalTechnology #MedicalConference #HealthTech #InnovationInMedicine #MedicalNews #PatientOutcomes #SurgicalProcedures #HealthcareIndustry #MedicalBreakthrough #InfectionPrevention#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
