The Jacobs Institute

Our mission is simple but powerful: to improve lives by advancing treatments for vascular and neurologic diseases. At the #JacobsInstitute, we bring together physicians, engineers, and researchers to transform vascular health—locally and across the globe. Through collaboration, innovation, and cutting-edge technology, we're solving complex problems in stroke, heart disease, and aneurysms. Our HQ is in Buffalo, NY, but our impact extends far beyond, as we develop medical devices and solutions that shape the future of healthcare. Join us on our mission to save lives.

Maintaining vascular health during the busy holiday season is key to staying energized and healthy. Here are some tips to keep your heart, brain, and overall system in top shape: ?? Stay active: Enjoy brisk walks, family games, or even a local Turkey Trot to keep circulation flowing. ?? Eat mindfully: Choose nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens, fruits, and whole grains to nourish your body. ?? Manage stress: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to support heart health. ?? Hydrate: Drinking water is essential for circulation, so keep your water bottle handy throughout the season. ?? Take breaks from sitting: Stand up, stretch, or walk around every hour to keep blood flowing (especially during long flights and car rides during the holidays) ?? Avoid excess alcohol: Moderation is key when it comes to maintaining vascular health during holiday celebrations. With a little attention to balance, your vascular system will stay strong and ready to take on the season.

At the #JacobsInstitute, we believe that transforming patient care starts with empowering those who innovate. Our custom training programs cover every step of the patient journey—from the emergency department to recovery—allowing R&D engineers to experience firsthand how their devices make a difference. Through live case observations, interactive learning, and hands-on device deployment, engineers gain invaluable insights that fuel their creativity and drive them to develop even better solutions. We’re not just improving devices—we’re shaping the future of patient care. #ComeInnovateWithUs

The Jacobs Institute is proud to share this The Buffalo News’ Another Voice article written by Jeremy M. Jacobs, Chairman of Delaware North, that celebrates the friendship between his late brother, Dr. Larry Jacobs and the late Dr. Nick Hopkins. Together, the two physicians put Buffalo on the map as a world leader in neurosciences. ?? https://lnkd.in/gSB47-TX

Spotlight on Jim Herr, Production Services Manager ?? Jim joined the #JacobsInstitute in spring 2022, stepping in to manage the JI’s complex audiovisual (A/V) infrastructure. This includes overseeing the one-of-a-kind broadcast facility embedded within the endovascular suites at Kaleida Health’s Gates Vascular Institute. “My background is in live television production, so I was a bit of a fish out of water at first. As a former photojournalist, I adapted quickly, picking up bits of everything I needed to know in a short time.” Jim works across all levels at the JI, assisting with live broadcasts of clinical procedures, recording surgical cases, videoconferencing, and live streaming JI events. “No two days are ever the same. I can start with a photoshoot, pivot to livestream an engineering session in the Training Lab, then get called to record a pulmonary embolism thrombectomy—all before lunch.” Jim’s adaptability is essential to the JI’s mission, helping to showcase new treatments, capture valuable data for developing next-gen technologies, and advance the JI’s public relations work. Join us in celebrating Jim today! ??

The JI co-hosted the 10th annual virtual Stroke Live Course (SLICE) event on November 8th and 9th in Buffalo, NY with Master & Fellow, a French medical education and innovation company that created SLICE. This is the first time SLICE has been held in the United States! Moderated by Vincent Costalat, M.D., Ph.D., the co-founder of Master & Fellow, and Adnan Siddiqui, MD, PhD, and CEO and chief medical officer (CMO) of the JI, 15 KOL physicians from around the world provided a virtual audience of thousands in over 154 countries with practical information and insights on treating acute ischemic stroke, free of charge. A workshop for neuroendovascular fellows from Buffalo and Toronto was held in parallel at the JI with the visiting KOLs providing case discussion and hands on device deployment. A recording of this two-day event is available on demand at: https://lnkd.in/eRqkZp2 #acuteischemicstroke #2024SLICE
