"Our focus is on pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology and data" Congratulations to @Opto_bio - the newest entrant to the London #neurotech arena - on an exciting £1.85m pre-seed raise Ben Woodington Blackbird Possible Ventures bit.ly/3Yr5BR9

We'll be at the Rice Neuroengineering Initiative conference (InterfaceRice) in May. If you're going to be at the conference and want to connect, give us a shout!

.@Opto_bio is developing minimally-invasive neurological technologies. The founders believe these technologies will become a prominent feature of modern medicine, enabling advances in brain cancer, epilepsy and neurodegenerative disease treatment #BusinessWeeklyAwards

Emergence

~10 years ago, I was working on a drug that worked as a radiosensitizer & contrast agent in lung cancer and was struck by the apparent elegance of theranostic medicine. It's one of the reasons I became so interested in neurotech/BCI/bioelectronics, seeing that same elegance.
