February 21, 2022 – On a Saturday morning at the bioskills training facility of Axis Research & Technologies in Irvine, a musculoskeletal device company brought in a heavy, multimillion-dollar robot for training. No forklift operators were working the weekend.
Axis Chief Executive Nick Moran “somehow remembered how to drive a forklift, so he came in and did it all for them. They thought it was hilarious that the CEO was helping them with that,” Axis Research COO Jill Goodwin told the Business Journal.
According to Goodwin, it’s the hands-on service of Moran and others at the company that enables Axis—one of Southern California’s only bioskills training facilities—to serve the region’s substantial medical sector.
The company provides a variety of specialized testing, research and skills training services, including the use of cadaver specimens, for medical device companies and hospitals.
