The Feedback Sessions are an invitation only program funded by the NIH in cooperation with the Larta Institute (www.larta.org) called the SBIR Commercialization Assistance Program (CAP).  CAP exposes some of the nation's most promising small life science and healthcare companies and their technologies and business strategies to the investment community, strategic partners and licensees.

"NKI is honored to be one of only forty companies selected to participate," said Vince Kytka, Director of Operations and Marketing. "This program is a great opportunity for accelerating our path to market."

NKI, poised for exciting growth, has had promising success with its I-Portal® technology to diagnose concussions, and, with the support of NIH's SBIR program, it is progressing in the development of its revolutionary I- Portal® Retinopathy product, a new, non-invasive ophthalmic diagnostic device. Initial data suggests this tool can provide early detection of diabetic retinopathy. 

"We are looking forward to this great opportunity to share our progress and potential with such a knowledgeable and influential group," added Howison Schroeder, President and CEO.
