Neurotech Unplugged

- In-person drop-in
Neurotech Unplugged is an in-person drop-in style coffee chat initiative with Dr. Dorian Haci, CEO and Co-Founder of MintNeuro, and Dr. Adrien Rapeaux, Neurotech Research Fellow at Imperial NGNI Lab.
It was such a pleasure having them join us, and even better seeing students and industry professionals from across London getting involved.
The conversations covered a lot. In the entrepreneurship session with Dr. Dorian Haci, we explored things like IP protection and how to convince investors to believe in your idea, especially at the pre-seed stage. In the research session with Dr. Adrien Rapeaux, some of the things we dived into includes chip design, bio-hybrid electrodes, and course recommendations. That being said, there's always more to uncover, depending on what you want to ask. (Of course, we're not going to give everything away here...)
Lucy Jung, Founder of LYEONS Neurotech and Charco Neurotech
Our latest session of Neurotech Unplugged was an absolute highlight, featuring Lucy Jung, the visionary Founder of LYEONS Neurotech and Charco Neurotech. It was fantastic to see such a diverse mix of students, researchers, and industry professionals gathered at Imperial College London for an afternoon of high-energy networking and honest conversation.
The session took a deep dive into the realities of building a venture in the neurotech space. With Lucy at the helm, the discussion moved quickly from high-level strategy to the "how-tos" of starting a neurotech company. We touched on the unique challenges of hardware development, navigating clinical pathways, and the art of building a brand that truly resonates with the community it serves.
