Firoza Kothari, Co-Founder & CTO – Anatomiz3D
A B.Tech in Biotechnology Engineering and now Forbes 30 under 30 – Asia – Healthcare and Science, 2020, Firoza Kothari started her journey to provide patient-specific medical solutions and one day end the organ donation problem by creating live organs out of patients’ stem cells. With that aspiration, she gave birth to Anatomiz3D, a startup focusing on medical 3D printing. She, along with her team, was the first to execute soft tissue models in India through Paediatric Cardiology, partial amputee prosthetic hand, the first kidney tumor case in India, and the model for tongue cancer was the first in the world. Kothari’s multi-disciplinary expertise prevails in converting 2D DICOM CT/MRI/Echo Scans to 3D Printed anatomical replicas, medical devices, and allied products, using various combinations of Hardware and Software, across multiple medical specializations.
Anatomiz3D has its strengths in clinical products such as patient-specific anatomical models, cutting/drilling guides and custom implants, along with strongly focusing on medical education. Though a startup in Canada, it has played a vital role in creating the market for 3D Printing in the Medical industry in India since 2015 and is a pioneer for the same, also being the first in India to enable Hospital-Industry partnerships for Point-of-Care Labs.
