December 16, 2016

VuEssence Inc., an Odessa-based company founded in 2010, has joined USF's Tampa Bay Technology Incubator (TBTI). VuEssence is focused on creating innovative solutions for aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to stroke and other neurological injuries.  

VuEssence was founded by Maha Sallam, a PhD graduate from the Department and a member of the Department's External Advisory Board. Maha's first company, Intelligent Systems Software, had a successful exit with an acquisition by publicly traded company, Howtek Inc., and their merger formed the new company iCAD. Maha is now focusing on her second startup, VuEssence.

"Our company is looking forward to the many opportunities that TBTI provides that will help accelerate our small business to expand and grow," said Maha. "The Incubator is the ideal setting for conducting our research, and we look forward to interacting with the other tenants in the program."
