Collaborative Ecosystem

A Collaborative Path from Invention to Future Impact

Medical innovation advances through coordinated expertise. Marrian Medical Technologies is being built within an emerging ecosystem spanning scientific invention, academic research, a startup studio program, federal innovation networks, technology transfer, and commercialization support.
A note on these relationships. The nature and scope of each relationship may differ. References to external organizations do not imply investment, sponsorship, endorsement, regulatory approval, procurement, or a formal commercial partnership unless expressly stated.
Academic & Inventor

University of Hawaii and the Inventor Team

Connected to the Original Scientific Foundation

The wound-care technology was pioneered by Dr. Sidney Johnson, Dr. Russell Woo, and Professor Scott Miller, PhD, in connection with the University of Hawaii.

The University of Hawaii and the original pioneers actively work in collaboration with Marrian Medical Technologies to further develop this innovation. This ongoing partnership supports continued R&D and close technical synergy as the technology advances.

Studio Program

Crucible Ignitor (powered by FedTech, funded by NavalX Inland Empire Tech Bridge)

Commercialization Through the Crucible Ignitor Studio

Marrian Medical Technologies was formed through Crucible Ignitor, a startup studio program that pairs federally or university-developed technologies with hand-selected entrepreneurial teams to pursue dual-use commercialization.

Through the studio, Marrian works alongside inventors, technology-transfer professionals, and advisors to refine its business model and explore licensing, CRADA, and transition pathways relevant to both commercial and Department of War applications, including potential engagement via NavalX.

Commercialization Support

UCR Office of Technology Partnerships

Company-Building and Commercialization Support

The UCR Office of Technology Partnerships provides strategic backing and support to catalyze Marrian Medical Technologies' growth as an early-stage company.

The exact scope of this relationship is being finalized; this language will be updated upon written confirmation.
