KinetiCor was represented by CEO<\/abbr> Jeffrey Yu<\/strong> and Jun Innovations was represented by Luke Tucker<\/strong> of XLR8UH<\/abbr><\/a> (UH<\/abbr>’s proof of concept center\/accelerator program) and both made presentations to an invitation-only audience of 250 investors, entrepreneurs, and university faculty and staff. The UH<\/abbr> spinouts were invited to participate in the showcase by Arizona Science and Technology Enterprises<\/a> and the Los Angeles Venture Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

KinetiCor’s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI<\/abbr>) motion correction technology was developed by Thomas Ernst<\/strong> of UH<\/abbr> Mānoa’s John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> and his colleagues from other research institutions. KinetiCor has raised $3 million in investor funding and has generated revenues of about $2 million.<\/p>\n
