030 - "Why Don't I Try?" with Marc Koska

On this episode of the Combinate Podcast, I was joined by Marc Koska, Founder of Apiject. Marc and I discuss:

  • The Importance of Understanding a Problem
  • Developing Models for Courtrooms in the US Virgin Islands
  • How he discovered the problem with Syringe Re-Use and HIV
  • The development of the K1 Syringe
  • How he drove the outlawing of reusable syringes in India
  • Some Problems of Pre-Filled Delivery Systems Currently
  • The Apiject BFS Design
  • Future of Apiject and Solving Drug Delivery Challenges
  • The importance of Self Motivation
  • Biomimicry

Marc Koska is best known for his breakthrough invention the K1 syringe which is a non-reusable syringe that prevents the transmission of blood borne diseases. He is the founder and Head of R&D at Apiject and is the originator of the ApiJect BFS single-dose injector.

Since beginning his work in the late 1980’s, Marc is credited with saving 10 million lives, having invented solutions, changed WHO policy and best practice on the ground through advocacy and campaigning.
