Mission

InCube’s mission is to solve major clinical problems by transforming the promise of science and technology into practical medical therapies that restore health and function. Our lab here in Menlo Park is focused on applied research, and includes space to form new companies. At the end of the day, it’s all about translating new ideas into meaningful solutions that make a difference for patients. 

Understanding The Need

InCube is focused on identifying major unmet clinical needs, understanding their underlying disease processes, then evaluating available treatments. Our approach to healthcare solutions is driven, not by available technologies, but by the most effective and simple way of treating a condition. When we see an opportunity to significantly improve clinical outcomes for large patient populations, we act. Success requires identifying the right clinical problems, and a willingness to take technological risks. Physician and patient needs keep us focused, and serve as our guideposts as we go through the process of creating new companies. 

Excellent Science

Our achievements reflect InCube's capabilities to ask the right questions, and then to innovate across multiple disciplines. We anticipate significant innovation at the intersection of cell biology, electro-mechanical devices, material sciences, wireless technology, therapeutic molecules, biochemistry & tissue engineering over the coming years. Our approach is to bring these areas of innovation to bear on well-defined clinical problems, and to prove our solutions in practice.

Teamwork

Our team works efficiently with our entrepreneurs to develop scientific breakthroughs and to move them from concept through the clinic to the marketplace. Success requires our scientists and engineers to work closely with business talent and the venture community. At InCube, we have built a culture that brings these pieces together in a way that consistently works.

Quality

Quality is the foundation of everything that we do – from asking the right questions at the beginning of a venture, through manufacturing products for the clinic. It begins with high quality people, committed to open and direct communication about the problems at hand. At InCube, quality is an ongoing value that serves as a touchstone for everything we do. Network With a vast network of top tier contacts in Venture Capital, Intellectual Property, the FDA, Physicians and Academics, InCube is able to surround new ventures with the knowledge and expertise that is crucial to ensure success.
