Description

In collaboration with the Center for Neuroprosthetics (CNP)  at EPFL, Innovation Forum Lausanne is organizing the NeuroTech Talk series. This conference series revolves around industrial applications in the fields of neuroscience and neuroprosthetics. The goal of this project is to broaden the view of researchers on what's outside academia. Beyond the science behind these applications, the seminars will focus on the personal, entrepreneurial challenges coming with the clinical translation of advances in neurotechnology. Speakers will share their career paths, the choices that brought them where they are today and their advices for PhD students and researchers seeking a future in the medical device industry.

This session taking place on 7th April 2021 at 18:30 CET will focus on Implantable Brain Interfaces. Introduced by professor Diego Ghezzi, head of the Medtronic Chair for Neuroengineering at the CNP, the speakers will be:

  • Carolina Aguilar, CEO & co-Founder, INBRAIN Neuroelectronics. Neuroscientist and Business Executive, at INBRAIN she develops a high density, high resolution and graphene-based neural interface.
  • Thomas Oxley, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of Synchron, a neural interface technology company. At Synchron, he develops the internationally acclaimed StentrodeTM, a device able to record brain activity from within a blood vessel.
  • Matt Angle, PhD, founder and CEO of Paradromics. He and his team are working on a novel high-data rate interface between brain and computers.

Registration is free. You will receive the Zoom link a few days before the event date.
