Under Mason\u0027s leadership, Andson was selected into Merck Pharmaceutical\u0027s inaugural accelerator program, the Merck Digital Sciences Studio (2022-2023), as well as the prestigious BioTools Innovator program (2023), where Andson was selected as a top 4 finalist.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMason has served as a consultant on projects ranging from artificial intelligence cancer diagnosis to resonance-based diagnostics sensors. Before starting his PhD, Mason worked in hands on roles that have benefitted him tremendously as an engineer including a position at a sheet metal\/frame shop and as a design engineer for a pharmaceutical packaging company.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJim West BIO\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EI was fortunate enough to be in the first cohort of BioTools Innovator (BTI) in 2021, and now I\u0027m working with the program to improve human health by accelerating the growth of a broad spectrum of life science tools, platform technologies, and diagnostics startups.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPowered by MedTech Innovator, the largest life science accelerator in the world, BTI is the first-ever accelerator for life science tools and research-enabling technologies. Leveraging the successful model of our flagship programs, our accelerator curates mentorships with industry experts and innovative early-stage biotechnology startups, and creates an immersive educational program to support founders. We foster collaborations by providing access to a global community of investors, strategic partners, and founders. BTI startups compete for up to $300k in non-dilutive cash prize funding.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cem\u003E*Lunch provided for in-person attendees, while supplies last\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0022BioTools Innovator: Accelerator Focused on Life Science Research\u0022\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022BioTools Innovator: Accelerator Focused on Life Science Research\u0022 - Mason Chilmonczyk, Ph.D., Andson Biotech, and Jim West III, MS"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2024-04-18 18:24:08","changed_gmt":"2024-07-19 20:30:45","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-09-10T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2024-09-10T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-09-10T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-09-10 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-09-10 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-09-10 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotechnology Building, 315 Ferst Drive, NW, Suddath Seminar Room 1128, Atlanta, GA 30332","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/bio\/commercialization","title":"IBB Commercialization Website"}],"groups":[{"id":"655285","name":"GT Commercialization"},{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
