Boomerang Medical

Boomerang Medical is excited to reconnect with our former interns and share what they are up to today! First up is Ashvin Irrinki, who interned with us last summer. Ashvin recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology and has now started medical school at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Congratulations, Ashvin! 🎓 We witnessed Ashvin’s dedication and enthusiasm for medical innovation and clinical trials firsthand. During his internship, he worked on various clinical operations projects, including a literature review on patients with IBD and J-pouch surgeries, documented FDA calls related to clinical trial timelines, attended site initiation visits, and ensured that clinical sites had all the necessary documentation for a smooth onboarding process. Ashvin, thank you for your contributions to TeamBoom. Congratulations on this exciting new chapter in your medical career at USC! We wish you all the best and hope to stay in touch.

We are sad to say goodbye to our amazing interns, Tania Anand-Kumar and Michael Atife, as they return to their studies this fall. They have contributed greatly to various projects and enriched our team with their hard work and enthusiasm. Their dedication and positive energy have made a lasting impact, and they will be missed by everyone at TeamBoom. Remember, once you’re part of TeamBoom, you’re always part of the team! Thank you to Fogarty Innovation for their invaluable support in making this year’s Lefteroff Program a success. The Fogarty family has grown bigger and brighter with the addition of all of the talented interns this summer. Tania and Michael, we wish you all the best as you continue your journeys at California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo and the University of Oxford. Here’s to your bright futures and continued success! 🌟🚀

Boomerang Medical is thrilled to welcome another summer intern, Michael Atife! Hailing from the University of Oxford, Michael brings great experience and passion. As the Vice President and Founding Member of the Oxford University Black Medics' Society and an Academia Officer for the charity Melanin Medics, Michael has demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to advancing medical education for all. With fellow intern Tania, Michael is excited to delve deeper into the medical industry and explore the intersection of medicine, research, and entrepreneurship. “I am enthusiastic about joining such a forward-thinking company like Boomerang Medical this summer! I look forward to learning from innovators in Silicon Valley and gaining insights into both the business and scientific facets of the medtech landscape," said Michael. Welcome to TeamBoom, Michael! We’re excited to support your journey and see the impact you'll make this summer.

19 years ago, the Illinois legislature enacted the Restroom Access Act, or Ally’s Law, to assist individuals with specific medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This crucial law ensures that people with these conditions can access employee-only restrooms in locations like restaurants, department stores, and other public places when public restrooms are unavailable. Since then, around 20 states have adopted similar measures, underscoring a growing commitment to accessibility and dignity for all individuals. #AllysLaw #RestroomAccess #IBD #UlcerativeColitis #CrohnsDisease

We are excited to see her achievements continue to unfold!

Several Lefteroff Interns at Fogarty Innovation met Hamm, one of CEO Heather Simonsen's beloved Leonbergers. We can attest that Hamm and his siblings are simply the best!

Meet Tania Anand-Kumar, Boomerang Medical’s Lefteroff Intern for the summer! Through Fogarty Innovation’s esteemed Lefteroff Internship Program, Tania is eager to broaden her understanding of the medical industry and gain valuable hands-on experience at Boomerang Medical. “Joining Boomerang Medical this summer is an exciting opportunity to understand the ins and outs of the medtech landscape, gain experience, and contribute to cutting-edge healthcare innovations,” said Tania.

Last weekend, our Marketing and Clinical Research Coordinator, Braden R. Koch, attended the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's Take Steps event in the East Bay! This inspiring event celebrated the unique journeys of those living with IBD, highlighting the progress in research, and the challenges the community still faces. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with passionate individuals dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by IBD. Boomerang Medical proudly walks alongside patients with IBD, the Foundation, and all advocates on the path to Mt. Remission, striving to advance treatment options one step at a time. #IBD #TakeSteps #IBDAwareness

Last week’s "Good Medicine Meets Good Business" event, part of the MedtechWOMEN series, emphasized the urgent need for increased research, investment, and innovation to improve women's health outcomes. At Boomerang Medical, we echo the sentiment shared by Fogarty Innovation: women's health encompasses far more than reproductive health and women’s cancers. As a women-led bioelectronic medicine company, we are dedicated to advancing the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The significant impact of IBD on women's health and quality of life demands attention and alternative treatment approaches. Thank you to MedtechWOMEN, Fogarty Innovation, and all the inspiring speakers for fostering a discussion crucial to the future of women's health.
