In April, a foreigner wearing glasses and a 60-year-old told a story in front of the stage, seeing his shirt from a little wet, but he was happy. In the audience, nearly 100 prospective physicians, pan- medical workers, engineers and designers participated in this thrilling entrepreneurial review journey.
He is Dr. John R. Adler, the world's first and only inventor of robotic and cancer radiotherapy instruments, CyberKnife, and vice chairman of innovative medical equipment at Stanford University. Honorary Professor, at the invitation of the Yongning Foundation, gave a speech to young friends who want to invest in medical undertakings.
Dr. Adler graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1980. After undergoing brain neurosurgery training at the Massachusetts General Hospital, he went to Sweden and Gamma Knife inventor Lars Leksell to study. At that time, Jiamadao was the pioneer of the world's cutting-edge medical treatment. It was the first non-invasive, stereotactic radiosurgery to treat brain tumors. It can eliminate tumors without using a knife to open the brain.
Despite the epoch-making invention, Dr. Adler found that the surgeon must fix the patient with a hood, which not only brought pain but also limited treatment. He believed that radiosurgery should be extended to the spinal cord, chest and systemic treatment. Decided to invest in the development of frameless targeting, combined with medical linear accelerators, to develop a new generation of products.
After the title was determined, he sought to settle down and consider the academic resources and business environment at that time. He accepted Stanford's letter of appointment as a neurosurgeon. All of this seems to be taken for granted, but the next road to entrepreneurship is hard to imagine. First of all, the wife thinks that he is crazy, the surgeon is hard enough, and he is gambling on the technology industry that is completely unfamiliar.
Indeed, even from the current point of view, whether it is an app, a service platform, or intelligent hardware, the development funds are no more than a few million. However, the medical or biotechnology industry is completely different, and the amount is huge. Like a black hole, Dr. Adler wants to develop high-end medical materials worth tens of millions of dollars with a young doctor who has no family background and no name. It is an idiotic dream.
Money, money!
In the early days, Dr. Adler relied on a plan to get funding from the National Institutes of Health. He hired a computer engineer to create a digital image processing system for X-rays and computer tomography. At that time, there was actually a lot of uncertainty, but he did the stupidity of "even if it was unsuccessful, and it was still helpful for medical treatment." After that, he successively contacted physicists and medical materials manufacturers to draw the first robotic equipment. A product sketch that locates and incorporates a linear accelerator.
However, this is only the first step. It has not yet entered the prototype (Prototype), but the medical business is too difficult, and the cost of burning is too amazing. Even if the National Institutes of Health is called for help, the answer is to suggest cooperation with large companies. He went back to visit the company, and each of them refused: "This product needs too much basic research to support, please find the country to contribute!"
To make matters worse, no matter whether he applied for any national research fee, he was rejected. In the worst period, he struggled for four years, could not find the funds at all, faced with a pen bill, and the pressure of the family's broken, can only repeat the dilemma.
"We entrepreneurs, too young, persistent and stubborn, so they hold on. But really, every day is faced with setbacks and pressures. (We entrepreneurs are young , persistent, and stubborn enough to do the startups . You'll Be facing failures and stress EVERYDAY .)" Dr. Adler said.
