North Carolina's first statewide non-profit economic development corporation targeting job growth through the blossoming field of advanced medical technologies is underway.
The North Carolina Advanced Medical Technologies Center of Innovation (NC AMTC) is incorporated, with J. Greg Davis elected board chairman and Cindy Clark, J.D., running day-to-day operations from a Research Triangle Park office, as president.
The North Carolina Biotechnology Center awarded the center a four-year, $2.5 million grant after a year of planning by dozens of interested entrepreneurs, community leaders and others interested in the field.
Advanced medical technologies include devices, diagnostics, imaging agents, and potentially other things related to health and healing.
