OneGuild Stories celebrates the people behind the progress — scientists, clinicians, innovators, patients, and partners working to reimagine what’s possible in diabetes care.
Whether spotlighting young pioneers, honoring visionary leaders, or sharing insights from underserved regions, each story reflects our commitment to inclusion, impact, and transformation.
This space is a home for reflection, recognition, and storytelling — and a growing archive of what it takes to move science forward, together.
Bridging Innovation Through Collaboration
At OneGuild Institute, we believe that the future of health innovation lies not just in discovery, but in connection. This article explores why fostering collaboration between clinical, academic, and industry scientists — a founding principle inspired by the legacy of Dr. Peter Sheehan — is essential to accelerate progress and turn bold ideas into real-world impact.
For two decades, the Wound Healing Science & Industry (WHSI) Innovation Summit — convened by OneGuild Institute — has brought together leading scientists, clinicians, industry innovators, policymakers, and investors to shape the future of wound healing and limb preservation. Intentionally intimate and immersive, WHSI prioritizes depth over scale, creating a rare space where discovery moves toward delivery through collaboration across disciplines.
Created to honor the legacy of Dr. Peter Sheehan, this award uplifts bold innovation in diabetes care — from regenerative science to real-world solutions that preserve limbs and restore dignity. It’s also a call to widen the circle of opportunity, especially for those whose work too often goes unseen.
