A drug-delivery patch took first place and $10,000 in the G. Steven Burrill Technology Business Plan Competition, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s annual contest for student entrepreneurs.

Anthony Escarcega, an MBA student, and John Puccinelli, a grad student in biomedical engineering, wrote a plan to develop and market a patch that delivers large-molecule drugs such as insulin over about 24 hours. They named the company Ratio.

The students licensed the technology, invented by their faculty advisers, through the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the university’s patenting and licensing arm.
