Dr. William Murphy's lifetime of innovation started with insatiable curiosity
|
Nancy Dahlberg
A lifetime of life-saving medical innovation began with Dr. William Murphy Jr.'s fascination with his toy train and how it worked.
The 90-year-old founder of Cordis Corp. and several other companies and now the chairman of (Broward based) Bioheart, a stem cell regenerative therapy company, spoke to a group of young professionals at the Intercontinental Hotel Miami last Friday...
...Murphy's topic was "Childhood." Born into a prominent medical family -- his father was a Nobel Prize winner and his mother was Massachusett's first female dentist -- Murphy said he was always encouraged to use his creativity. As a child, he was soon making his cart into a plane and his bike into a motorized scooter. Using some of those engineering principles he was learning, he invented the residential snow blower as a young teen. A few years later, he and a young doctor invented the overhead projector, which he sold to hospitals while in college.
"I have spent my life having fun learning about anything anybody would show me or teach me. There is so much brilliance in this world in the minds of man," said Murphy.
