OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc. was the winner of the 2007 Michael E. DeBakey Award and $25,000 cash prize. OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc. designs, develops, and markets a revolutionary device that cuts treatment time for braces in half and works in combination with all existing orthodontia bracket technologies. A panel of venture capitalists awarded OrthoAccel Technologies the DeBakey Life Science Award based on its exceptional potential in commercializing its technology. In addition to the $25,000 cash prize, OrthoAccel received a pro bono provisional patent filing from Baker & McKenzie LLP and premier visibility for the year in all BioHouston programs. To provide further support to the emerging companies that win this award, BioHouston offers winners low cost, short-term office space to help further close the funding gaps typically faced by these companies. OrthoAccel became our newest resident company at the beginning of 2008.
