$100,000-plus prize pool shared between UD startups at Hen Hatch competition
John Erbey, a University of Delaware alumnus who has developed a new therapy for acute kidney injury, received $21,500 as a winner of UD’s premier startup funding competition, Hen Hatch.
“Acute kidney injury is a massive public health problem in not only the United States, but the rest of the world,” said Erbey, adding that the condition kills 300,000 Americans and costs the national health care system $10 billion each year.
