Product development for academic and pre-clinical research electrodes II

Neuraura Biotech Inc., (“Neuraura”) is a seed stage Calgary-based company focused on the field of neuroscience / neurotech, formed as a spin-out of the University of Calgary in 2017. Lisa Van de Panne initially worked with Neuraura as part of an Innovate Calgary funded Innovation Studentship. In this role, she performed primary and secondary research to evaluate the use of different materials in neuromodulation devices.
As a result of outstanding performance in this project and following a formal interview process, we engaged Lisa to work part-time for Neuraura between January and May 2021 and secured funding BioTalent Canada to support that role. In May 2021, Lisa commenced a full-time 15 month internship with Neuraura, with two 4-month units funded so far through MITACs BSI program. In the first project, the focus was on designing the depth and hybrid electrodes, then translating them into a set of manufacturable products. She improved on original design concepts through iterative feedback and discussions with stakeholders to refine the value proposition.
