Research
Academia and industry collaborate on solutions to neural disease and injury
The Building Reliable Advances and Innovation in Neurotechnology (BRAIN) Center is an Industry/University Collaborative Research Center at Arizona State University and the University of Houston. This partnership allows rigorous testing of efficacy, safety and long-term reliability of neurotechnology that would not be otherwise possible within the traditional ‘silos’ of academic, industry, regulatory and clinical communities.
Biomedical engineering venture wins big at ASU Demo Day
A senior capstone design group ended with the formation of Captavate. Abyssinia Bizuneh’s venture was the big winner at ASU’s spring 2023 Demo Day pitch competition on April 22, scoring $40,000 in funding. The Captavate team then went on to receive honorable mention at the 2023 National Institutes of Health Design by Biomedical Undergraduate Teams, or DEBUT, Challenge.
