Ted Belleza

Ted Belleza is the founder, President and CEO of URO-1, Inc., a medical device company based in Greensboro, North Carolina that develops the SUREcore biopsy needle and coreCARE specimen-retrieval kit for prostate and soft tissue biopsy. A serial MedTech entrepreneur with more than 35 years of business experience and prior roles at Gynesonics (acquired by Hologic), Endosee (acquired by CooperSurgical) and LiveLeaf Bioscience, Belleza came out of retirement after his own prostate cancer experience to redesign what he calls an antiquated biopsy procedure, aiming to give physicians bigger, better and more consistent tissue samples.
