AXIS Research & Technologies' Founder and CEO, Nick Moran has been nominated for a 2021 Orange County Business Journal Innovator of the Year Award.

Nick's Nomination in 2021

AXIS Research & Technologies, Inc. was an idea that originally started from a non-profit created by Founder and CEO Nick Moran to educate youth about the negative effects of diabetes and being overweight. That nonprofit morphed into a broader opportunity to create a Bio Skills Company to provide facilities, medical equipment and broadcast audiovisual capabilities for surgeons, medical professionals and medical device companies to practice surgical techniques, develop and perfect medical devices and provide education to audiences worldwide.

Starting from a single facility located in Irvine, CA, the client base of leading names in the medical community grew as the AXIS team developed a reputation for providing world class facilities, services and support. In 2017, AXIS expanded its operations to new facility in Columbia, MD, which fostered a chance meeting with leadership at Johns Hopkins- Applied Physics Lab, prompting a collaboration to advance AXIS’s vision to use advanced technology (computer vision, sensors, AI, machine learning, AR and cloud computing) to evaluate, interact with and improve outcomes. Through collaboration with Johns Hopkins/ Applied Physics Lab and BDO Digital, AXIS is rapidly creating and deploying new technology and IP that is advancing how medical device companies, hospital systems and researchers develop, evaluate and improve medical procedures, devices and outcomes that are reducing risks, and saving lives.
