Medcura simply would not be alive and thriving without the support of MIPS. Our 2008 MIPS grant was the first substantial research grant that we received, and that funding has created a platform for our company to raise over $1.7 million in non-dilutive funding and reach a first regulatory milestone. Medcura hopes to continue to serve as an example of a real-world manifestation of the vision for the MIPS program.
