"Early diagnosis is the key to saving the lives of cancer patients, say doctors. However, several studies conducted focus only on the cure which has never been found. Adnan Haider, a young Pakistani, and his team of students from Duke University have developed a device to prevent cervical cancer in developing countries."
"Theo Tam, alumni Biodesign student, recently received the CUREs competition first prize with a proposal for a low cost medical device to help diagnose and treat cervical cancer in developing countries. CUREs is a medical device competition sponsored through Duke University's Engineering World Health program where Tam is a graduate student."
"The winning team of the second annual Duke-Engineering World Health CUREs non-profit business competition has developed a device to help catch cervical cancer early in women of developing countries."
"Earlier this month, the team headed by Tam won a $100,000 competition for its engineering, business and medical skills in creating the device. Last week he met with venture capitalists about financing the scope's marketing and development."
"Theo Tam and Wynn Xiao Wu were more than a bit nervous for their first serious “dates” with potential investors in their fledgling medical device startup."
"A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Theo Tam of Castro Valley, a Stanford graduate who is currently in the Master of Engineering Management Program at Duke University."
"Adnan Haider, a graduate of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST), and his ‘imaGyn’ at Duke University won a hundred-thousand-dollar prize at CUREs competition for developing a device to facilitate cervical cancer prevention in the developing world."
"A US-based team, with two Indians on board, has won $100,000 in funding at the Duke University's CUREs competition to develop a device to facilitate cervical cancer prevention in poorer parts of the planet."
"Direct and straightforward lending to individuals in developing countries is here... You don't have to be a Bill Gates to drastically change people's lives anymore.”
"The team's plan is an inspiration to anyone who dares to dream of what innovation can do to improve health in developing countries."
