From its first issue to today, the mission of Medical Design Briefs has been to provide our design engineering readers with information on the latest technology advances in medical devices, instruments, and systems from sources worldwide. With readers at the front end of the product development process, MDB has helped spark the next big idea in the medical design market.

This month, MDB takes a giant leap forward in our effort to make that vital information even more relevant to our readers. I’m pleased to introduce Sherrie Trigg as the new Editor & Director of Medical Content for Medical Design Briefs. Sherrie comes to MDB with a vast and impressive background in the medical design and device industry. Previously Editor-in-Chief of Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry magazine, Sherrie also served as Director of Content for Medical Design magazine.

Sherrie became well established as an editor in the medical field with a vision and understanding of the medical device industry’s needs in terms of information, and how readers want to receive that information. An award-winning editor, she brings a reputation of editorial quality and integrity to MDB.

Said Sherrie, “I have always been impressed with Medical Design Brief’s unique coverage of the medical device industry. I am looking forward to being a part of the team. By creating content that is targeted and forward-looking, I am excited to continue to cultivate the brand’s reputation of quality analysis and technical editorial. Working with industry experts, I will focus on identifying critical trends, ensuring that we meet the needs of the industry by delivering valuable, relevant, and actionable information.”

You will see Sherrie at many of the industry’s trade shows and conferences, where she will be applying her skills in finding and reporting on the cuttingedge developments in the industry, and charting a course for MDB’s continued success in 2017 with quality content both in the pages of MDB and on the Web site at www.medicaldesignbriefs.com.
