Physcient CSO and Co-founder, Chuck Pell, Wins an Emmy for His Work with “Exploration Earth 2050”

Durham NC, April 28, 2018 – Physcient’s CSO and co-founder, Chuck Pell, won an Emmy for “Outstanding Special Class Series” recognizing his work as host and futurist on Fox’s syndicated series, “Exploration Earth 2050”, a part of “Xploration Station: Science for Everyone”, a 3-hour block of educational programming airing on Saturday mornings.

In the series, Chuck helped explore how STEM (science, technology, math, engineering, and math) would shape our future world. Chuck is well-recognized in the technology community for TEDMED talks, regular features in science news reports, and his work in robotics and biomechanics.

Physcient’s CEO and Chuck’s collaborator for the past 30 years, Hugh Crenshaw, explains that Chuck brings that same intuition for complex topics and future trends to Physcient’s efforts to develop new medical technologies. “He quickly recognized that many of today’s surgical instruments are mostly unchanged from those designed by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.” Chuck regularly carries in his pocket an ancient bronze blunt dissector recovered from a Greek shipwreck. In the other pocket he carries a fragment of a meteor, a pointer for man’s future.

Chuck works with a tight team at Physcient, collaborators for the past 30 years, to develop new surgical instruments that speed surgery, expand surgeons’ abilities, and improve outcomes by combining proprietary insights into the mechanics of tissues with advanced technologies from other industries. Our lead technology, the Differential Dissector™, replaces centuries old technology and allows a surgeon to safely dissect tissues more rapidly, displacing instruments that contribute to hundreds of thousands of severe surgical complications each year in the US.

The entire Physcient team is immensely proud of Chuck and his accomplishments with Exploration Earth 2050. We just wish we could have been in Hollywood to celebrate with him.
