Biophysics & Medical Physics
Dear Colleagues and Friends, welcome to the Global Physics Innovation Conference (GPIC 2026)! Without a doubt, recent advances in physics have revolutionized medicine. But, how did this occur? Was your research part of these advancements? Have we innovated and commercialized such research enough? Are companies paying attention to this wonderful research? Are Universities helping you? What about your federal funding agencies? And, most importantly, are you in the right environment to innovate and commercialize your research? In my own experience, above all else, it takes a supportive environment. Find the right community. Find this conference. I left the very negative, ultra-competitive, stifling Northeastern University in Boston over 5 years ago. I have never seen such negative, cut-throat, and miserable people in my 30year career! Only after I moved did I find a truly supportive environment that allowed me to form over a dozen companies and yes, I found truly supportive people who value me and my contributions. Because I left Northeastern University, I have since commercialized my nanotechnology research into medical devices now in over 45,000 patients with no failures, only success! So, I encourage everyone to find that right environment. Make that move. And attend the right conferences: GPIC 2026 is such a conference where you will meet the right people! And be inspired, not discouraged like I was at Northeastern University for far too long! I, and the patients I have helped, wish we could get those years back! It will change your life once you make the commitment to surround yourself with positive people. I know, because I lived it. I look forward to seeing everyone to further share my story and give you that “positive” boost!
