Innovation comes from more than flashes of insight A few years ago Denise Polacek began experiencinghot flashes which sparked the birth of an innovative solution for this widely encountered problem Farfewer women are willing to take hormones today says Polacek and hot flashes are the number onereason they take them A hot flash heats up the skin by 15deg F in just 30 seconds Nothing else doesthat says Polacek who has a PhD in molecular genetics and cell biology background in cardiovascularresearch and business training from University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School

Polacek founded Life Quality Technologies in August 2006 that focuses on a new way to beat the heat of ahot flash She is working on a wearable device (with dimensions similar to a heart-rate monitor) thattracks surface temperature and automatically turns on thermoelectric cooler when needed She iscommercializing the product with the help of a Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) program calledBioLaunch611+ KIZ

Pennsylvania created the KIZ to promote academic technology transfer and entrepreneurship To workwith a KIZ a company must meet specific criteria including being less than eight years of age lying withinthe geographic boundaries of a KIZ and working in the industrial sectors chosen by the KIZ SoutheasternPennsylvania includes six KIZs and four include a life science component

BioLaunch611+ KIZ began operation in September 2006 In the first 10 months says Karen Hansonexecutive director weve helped 14 companies - more than we anticipated Through a due-diligenceprocess in which a company makes a presentation to and receives a report from experts in sciencetechnology and business BioLaunch611+ KIZ provides extraordinary advice several thousand dollarsworth Hanson says In addition each company is given a mentor

I talk with my mentor about three times a week says Polacek BioLaunch611+KIZ also connectedPolacek with a manufacturing expert a corporate attorney and a patent attorney I feel like I have awhole team she says

The Bucks County KIZ specializes in life science and bioinformatics Were not just a piece of real estatewere a knowledge community says Tim Block professor of microbiology and immunology at DrexelUniversity and president of the 10-acres and more than 100000 sq ft that make up the PennsylvaniaBiotech Center of Bucks County which hosts this KIZ Currently 10 companies and three nonprofitresearch organizations reside at the center which brings it to nearly 70 occupancy after only one year ofexistence

Many companies at the Bucks County KIZ focus on cancer and antiviral research which is not surprisinggiven the Hepatitis B Foundations presence at the center Block points out other areas of interest tooincluding biofuels This KIZ also runs a training program that Block calls Who wants to be anentrepreneur The Bucks County KIZ even takes students right out of college and gives them experiencein biotechnology or medicine They get paid as research assistants says Block They also participate in astructured program with seminars and each assistant gets a mentor

The newest southeastern Pennsylvania KIZ started in Chester County in January 2007 It will focus on lifescience biotechnology and information technology Its already working with nearly 20 companies in thearea This KIZ provides companies with many benefits including connections to accounting servicesfunding resources human-resource benefits and legal experts The Chester County KIZ also providesinternship connections money by subsidizing training grants and other services including real-estatesupport

The University City KIZ founded in 2005 also includes a life science focus which is boosted by its powerfulcollection of partners BioAdvance Drexel University Thomas Jefferson University University City ScienceCenter University of Pennsylvania University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and the Wistar Institute

After working as the manager of nanotechnology and licensing at the University of Pennsylvanias Centerfor Technology Transfer Hugo Fitzgerald took the executive director position at University City KIZ in2007 We are a preparatory agency for all future funding FitzGerald says If youre in the idea stage wecan help you develop that into a coherent business plan and pull together the regions resources Thatincludes connecting emerging entrepreneurs with the regional technology transfer and small businessdevelopment offices as well as helping them with licensing agreements and financial forecasting

The University City KIZ relies on a wide range of funding It received $250000 from the state ofPennsylvania in its first year and another $184500 in its second Commerce Bank also provides theUniversity City KIZ with $50000 each year Fitzgerald says Thats really helped with underwriting lots ofprograms For example we run programs to educate new companies and to help them create addedvalue

In January 2008 the University KIZ plans to start a microvoucher program in conjunction with theInnovation Partnership which describes itself as a consortium of economic development and businessassistance organizations located throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania In the microvoucher

program a company that is licensing a technology through one of the University City KIZ partners can gethelp underwriting a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant We help them develop and writethe grant proposal explains Fitzgerald

In just two years the University City KIZ has worked with 160 companies 60 of them directly related tothe KIZ Three of these companies - Phenotech Vasculab and Neuro Diagnostics Devices - even received$50000 startup grants The University City KIZ also helped a company that works on diagnostics forAlzheimers disease This company leveraged some of its KIZ money to acquire state funding and it alsoreceived funding by providing equity to a private source

We also subsidized the cost of promising companies going to BIO [Biotechnology Industry Organization]says Fitzgerald which really puts them in the spotlight of the national and international biotechcommunity He adds Our University City KIZ companies have been awarded over $400000 in taxcredits and leveraged over $15 million in funding

The University City KIZ also works with companies beyond its geographic bounds and even outside thecountry As an example Fitzgerald mentions working with a Spanish company that established space at theScience Center He notes that many Indian biologics companies appear interested in the area seeminglybecause of the proximity of biotechnology and large pharmaceutical companies

Working as a team the KIZ groups want to deliver technology rapidly to the market and some of theproducts will surely spread to new therapeutic areas For example Polacek sees her cooling device goingbeyond its use in menopause People with diabetes and multiple sclerosis also get heat surges There mayeven be occupational uses such as in hardhats she says With teamwork and entrepreneurial advice onenever knows what insight might set off a blaze of new products
