MiWEndo Solutions has been founded with the goal to detect colorectal cancer more quickly and efficiently. MiWEndo Solutions is a spin-off promoted by the BCN Medtech research unit of UPF in collaboration with the UPC, Hospital Clínic and ICREA.
The company is developing a low-cost medical device for use during colonoscopy to identify malignant polyps, the precursors of cancer, using microwave technology. The incorporation of the company, which took place yesterday, was attended by the eight founding members and the UPF general manager, Jaume Badia; the rector of the UPC, Francesc Torres; the manager of the Clínic Foundation for Biomedical Research, Rosa Vilavella, and the ICREA executive director, Emilià Pola.
