Upcoming Events

A Life of Innovation (Lunch & Learn)
Thursday, September 28, 12 -1:30 pm
Please join us for an opportunity to meet and learn from Hira V. Thapliyal, one of the most important innovators in interventional cardiology. Humble, funny, and wildly accomplished, Hira came to the US for his education, then got his introduction to medical devices working at Corning Glassworks. His path led to California and then to John Simpson, MD and Paul Yock, MD, where he worked on DVI’s atherectomy device and co-founded CVIS,. He also co-founded ArthroCare, which patented Coblation, a pioneering technique using RF energy in joint surgery and other applications.
