ATLANTA — Miranda Baras (M.I.S. ’22) has been making strides in healthcare and entrepreneurship since earning her master’s degree in biomedical science and enterprise from Georgia State’s Institute for Biomedical Sciences.
As a student, Baras dreamed of launching her own business, and when she had a promising idea, she decided to take a leap of faith to pursue it. Through hard work, sacrifice and grit, she is bringing the idea to fruition.
In this Q&A, Baras discusses her new healthcare technology startup company Teravus, the triumphs and challenges of her entrepreneurship journey and how Georgia State equipped her for success.

I just thought I would put good ideas out into the world, hoping people with more money and resources would take them and make them real.

Q: Tell us more about your startup company, Teravus. What type of services or products does the company offer?
A: Teravus is currently developing proprietary contactless biometric monitoring technology for the healthcare, public safety and defense technology spaces. I have two co-founders: Jason Murray and Dr. Marvin Slepian. Jason is a biomedical engineer and Dr. Slepian is a cardiologist and the director of the University of Arizona Center for Accelerated Biomedical Innovation (ACABI). Dr. Slepian is a newer addition to Teravus. We are very excited to have him because he has helped advance our technology.
Q: Can you discuss some of your recent accomplishments in your entrepreneurship journey?
A: We are very excited to have a minimum…
