Congratulations to Philip Carullo, MD (PGY-1 resident), who was recently awarded two grants for the development of a medical device that would prevent aspirated products from entering the lungs during intubation.
Upon completing the First Gear Program run through the University of Pittsburgh Innovation Institute, Dr. Carullo received a $3,000 grant for his project. He was also awarded a one-year $20,000 pilot grant from the University of Pittsburgh Center of Medical Innovation for production of a functional prototype.
