Grannus Therapeutics

Congratulations to Grannus Therapeutics and TayCo Brace, two Notre Dame startups that advanced to the finals of Elevate Ventures' Rally IN-Prize pitch contest last week. Grannus won the healthcare category award, while TayCo Brace was selected as a finalist in the sports tech category. As a winning team, Grannus is now eligible for a potential 1:1 match from Elevate Ventures on any investments the startup receives, up to $1 million. The technology behind Grannus' therapeutic was invented by Brian Blagg, the Charles Huisking Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and director of the Warren Center for Drug Discovery and Development at Notre Dame, along with Sanket Mishra, a former Notre Dame research scientist. TayCo's original brace was developed by former Notre Dame athletic trainer Mike Bean and retired team doctor Dr. Fred Ferlic. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/grKfEAqd
