The Brain Forum is dedicated to helping fulfil the potential of brain science to benefit humanity, through the treatment of neurological disorders and the enhancement of everyday life. The annual forum held this year in May brought together more than 1,400 researchers, engineers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, industrialists, investors, funding agencies, and policy makers from 31 countries.
PathMaker was selected as one of just six finalists to be named as a Top European Neuroscience Startup in the Innovation Award competition. “PathMaker was delighted and honored to have been selected this year as a Top Neuroscience Startup at The Brain Forum conference,” said Nader Yaghoubi, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of PathMaker. “The organizers have brought together some of the world’s leading neuroscientists for a premiere conference that uniquely integrates academia, industry and early-stage companies focused on neuroscience.”
PathMaker is developing breakthrough non-invasive systems that treat patients suffering from neuromotor conditions brought on by stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. There are more than 48 million affected patients in the U.S., Europe, and China alone with these conditions. PathMaker’s first product, MyoRegulator™, provides a breakthrough non-invasive treatment for muscle spasticity and is now in IRB-approved human clinical trials. The company’s second product, MyoAmplifier™, provides an advanced non-invasive platform that treats paralysis and muscle weakness.
