The Office of Research proudly presents UTHSC LEADS (Launching Entrepreneurial Activities and Discovery in Science). The UTHSC LEADS seminar series brings successful and engaging entrepreneurial scientists, involved in biotech, life sciences, Pharma and device sectors, to UTHSC so they can relay their “entrepreneurial stories.” Our fourth speaker is Tim Brahm.

Mr. Brahm has over 21 years of experience in tissue banking and Biologic Product research and development. He was a founder and President of the Mid-South Tissue Bank of Memphis. Tim was also a founding employee of Regeneration Technologies (RTIX) in Allachua, Fl which was spun out of the University of Florida. Mr. Brahm founded United Tissue Services (dba Spinal Graft Technologies), a tissue-based company that sold its assets to Medtronic Sofamor Danek. Moreover, Tim also founded and managed United Donor Services, Southeastern Donor Services, and Louisiana Donor Services.
