Neurescence, a biotechnology company specializing in optical imaging technology, is excited to announce that it has received $350,000 funding from Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) in preparation for the upcoming new product launch and expansion of its sales and marketing team.
Neurescence’s proprietary multiscopes™ enable multi-region and multi-colour functional imaging and stimulation within the brain and spinal cord in freely behaving animals. Neurescence products have the potential to help researchers make an impact in fundamentally understanding the brain function, as well as providing deep insight into various disease mechanisms, in fields such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Epilepsy.
Neurescence consists of a strong technical and business development team. With the initial product, Quartet®, in the market, Neurescence is planning to strengthen its sales and marketing team to further prepare for its upcoming new product launch, Chromatone™ through the funding received from BDC.
“This fund is extremely valuable as it will assist us in building a stronger sales and marketing team that will facilitate the dissemination of our technologies to neuroscience researchers all over the world. Our technology will help fulfill the need of neuroscientists to understand the brain and discover better assessment and novel therapies for neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases such as Depression, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.” says Yasaman Soudagar, co-Founder and CEO of Neurescence.
