Dr George Frodsham, founder and CEO at MediSieve, the medical device company developing ‘magnetic blood filtration’, has won the Early Career Impact Award at the BBSRC Innovator of the Year Awards 2019.
The award was presented by Chris Skidmore MP, Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation at an awards ceremony in the Science Museum, London. This comes just a short time after MediSieve won the highly competitive award category of Investment Achievement at the MedTech London Awards 2019.
“I am thrilled to receive this prestigious award from the BBSRC, underlining the great progress that we have made at MediSieve since spinning out four years ago. It’s truly flattering to be recognised by one of the UK’s biggest research councils and to have the opportunity to stand alongside winners of the award in other categories, who are all so inspiring.” said Dr Frodsham.
Magnetic blood filtration is a revolutionary method of treating blood-borne diseases by removing pathogens directly from a patient’s bloodstream.
