Senator Lee’s Deputy chief of staff Justin Anthony yesterday toured the new James LeVoy Sorenson Center for Medical Innovation (SCMI) at the University of Utah. The four-story, nearly 60,000-square-foot facility, led by Executive Director, Mark Paul, features advanced prototyping labs, a clinical bio-tissue surgery suite, and incubator spaces designed to foster, develop, and commercialize next-generation medical devices.
“The new Sorenson Center for Medical Innovation (SCMI) gives ‘Build it Here’ a whole new meaning,” said Anthony. “The Center supports every stage of medical device development, advancing health and growing the state’s economy. Senator Lee applauds this ground-breaking and important work in Utah.”
BioUtah’s Vice President for Government Affairs, Denise Bell, joined Anthony for the visit. Paul explained that SCMI’s innovation hub, state-of-the-art facilities, experiential learning, and expert support is unique in the nation. Consider it a one stop centralized ecosystem to make novel life-changing technologies for patients a reality.
