The PMDI is on a mission to improve pediatric medicine.

Among his many roles, Dr. Muelenaer is the co-founder of the PMDI along with Dr. Al Wicks from VT Mechanical Engineering, and he will facilitate presentations by entrepreneurs, students, and small businesses from our region who are engaged in the development and commercialization of medical devices for children.
