The Future of Neurotech: A Fireside Chat
On October 28, 2015, a gathering of the Stanford Biodesign Alumni association, the current Biodesign fellows, and Women in Medtech members, was treated to a delightful fireside chat on the Neuromodulation frontier. The panelists shared a wide array of perspectives first-hand: from entrepreneurs building exciting neurostimulation products, to leaders of publicly traded companies marketing neuromodulation devices and even included the venture capital perspective on the future of this promising field of bioelectronic medicines. Hosted graciously at the T3 Advisors’ office in Palo Alto, this event was a treat for the audience who were entirely engaged in a lively discussion over cocktails.
AccessClosure – from extinction to distinction
On Monday, November 19th, Biodesign Alumni got to hear one of the most incredible turnaround stories in medtech history when Fred Khosravi, John Buckley, Greg Casciaro and Hank Plain shared the story of AccessClosure. Brought back from the brink several times (once after chance encounter in a department store checkout line) this story has the makings of a Hollywood cliffhanger and left the audience in awe.
