List of Medical Device Companies That Are Potential Employers In Mississippi

To get into one of the large healthcare corporations you need to have experience or an internship.  The best way to get that experience is through the smaller companies that also participate in the medical device industry.  I have listed below a sample of the companies and individuals that manufacture medical devices, sterilize medical devices,  export devices to U.S., are initial distributor/importers of medical devices, manufacture medical devices,  remanufacture medical devices, repack or relabel medical devices, reprocess single-use devices, or develop specifications but do not manufacture in Mississippi.   This can be dated information.  However, a quick search on Google will confirm whether that is the case.  The information is provided as is in this article.  In some cases the corporate headquarters may not still be located in the state indicated.

The list is a useful starting point for your job or internship search, particularly if you are interested or need to stay within your state.  It can be used to determine whether there are any large medical device corporations with a presence in your state.  It can also be used to find telephone numbers, addresses and websites of the smaller companies. You will need to get up the courage to call these potential contacts and introduce yourself to them. Its the only way to find out when a local company is thinking of hiring and what they are looking for. Use this approach in addition to applying over the internet.

Please contact me if you wish to obtain a complete list which has addresses or has been filtered to contain only manufacturers,  remanufacturers, specification, etc. for any state.  This information is available for a nominal fee.  Contact Form

Making Gene Expression Useful to the Clinician

One the the big challenges to successfully commercializing the advances in genomic research for the medical device industry is how to present the information in a form that will be useful to clinician. Historically the vast majority of physicians practicing today were taught microbiology, biochemistry and physiology in medical school. In day to day practice they use their knowledge to augment their clinical diagnostic and treatment methods. However, the vast majority of clinicians did not learn about gene expression and the depth of detail it is helping bring to systems biology. Moreover, it will be very difficult to get much more than an appreciation of the insights this information will bring to medicine even when it becomes part of the medical school curriculum. As a result there will be a need to have technology that will help the clinician interpret the tremendous volume of information a genomic expression profile gives.

A first step toward such a tool has been developed by Gabriel Eichler, Ying Feng, Yuchun Guo and Sui Huang in the Ingber laboratory at the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston. The Gene Expression Dynamics Inspector (GEDI) approach uses color patterns related to gene expression results to convey the gene expression “state” of a patient. The concept relies heavily on the doctor’s ability to detect visual patterns and correlate them with the other tools at their disposal to create a diagnosis.  From the product development point of view its clear that the creators of this software understood their customer and developed a tool that would be within their capabilities to use. The technology is available to the public without charge.

The attempt to create this type of tool highlights the need and the challenges that the medical industry and its engineers will face to create products that simplify the interpretation of the volume of data made available by genomic techniques and make them useful to the clinician.
