Biz The Magazine - May 2017
Dr. Sunyoung Kim and her startup company, Chosen Diagnostics, were featured on the cover of the May 2017 issue of Biz New Orleans The Magazine. In the article, Dr. Kim reflects on what it takes to build a healthcare startup and why Louisiana is the right place for it to take shape.
In November, Chosen Diagnostics won the $25,000 grand prize at the 2016 BioChallenge Startup Competition, an annual event organized by the New Orleans BioInnovation Center to identify and support local life sciences startups. She is the first woman to win the award.
On the heels of that success, the company took top honors in the 2017 JEDCO Challenge, held this past March during New Orleans Entrepreneur Week. The win included a $60,000 prize package. Judging panels weren't the only ones who recognized the company's merit — in both competitions, Chosen Diagnostics won the “crowd favorite” prizes as well.
