What are gas enabled medical innovations? |
Gas enabled medical innovations (GEMI) is the collective term for the process of researching and developing advanced preventive, therapeutic and diagnostic solutions using medical and pharmaceutical gases. GEMI represents a relatively unexplored area of science and a growing number of experts consider GEMI a field in which there are significant therapeutic and business opportunities. For this reason, we have established the the GEMI Fund to support grants recipients with the financial means to pursue new and innovative research into the use of gases relating to the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of diseases and other physical disorders.
What kind of gases?
Gases are substances in gaseous form in ambient condition, alone or in combination with other gases or pharmaceutical substances. These include oxygen, medical air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, hydrocarbons and noble gases.
Gases and delivery devices
Traditional medical gases like oxygen and nitrous oxide, as well as other gases with recently discovered roles as biological messenger molecules (such as nitric oxide and carbon monoxide) offer solutions to unmet medical needs. Convenient and effective delivery devices are rapidly coming on to the market. Expectations are that pharmaceutical gases and related delivery devices will both play crucial roles in medicine in the future. |
