Professor Sumeet Mahajan
Co-founder,
CEO & CTO
Sumeet Mahajan is a Professor of Molecular Biophotonics and Imaging, the Deputy Head of the School in Chemistry and Academic Lead for Imaging in the Institute for Life Sciences at the University of Southampton. His group is highly interdisciplinary and researches label-free, non-invasive, chemically- & structurally-informative spectroscopic and imaging methods to study biological and environmental processes and develops technologies for early, faster and more sensitive detection, monitoring and health diagnostics. He has published >150 papers and 6 patents. A recipient of EPSRC and ERC fellowships, he currently co-leads an EPSRC Prosperity Partnership, an EPSRC Transformative Healthcare 2050 programme and a UKRI Cross-Council award for developing and testing his new MX-Raman technology for dementia diagnosis.
Dr George Devitt
Co-founder,
Scientific Director
George Devitt is an early-career Research Fellow at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Southampton. His research is interdisciplinary and encompasses chemically- and structurally-sensitive spectroscopic and imaging methods to study neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, therapies, and biomarkers, with a focus on the translation of spectroscopic technologies for dementia diagnosis. He has published 10 papers and 2 patents. A recipient of Alzheimer's Reseach UK and EPSRC Business and Commercialisation fellowships, he is currently a Research and Innovation Associate on a UKRI Cross-Council award for developing and testing his new MX-Raman technology for dementia diagnosis.
Professor Amrit Mudhur
Biology Director
Amrit Mudher is a Professor of Neurosciences Southampton and the Associate Dean for Internationalisation for the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences at the University of Southampton. She has a long standing track record in establishing pre-clinical models of neurodegenerative disease and identify disease-modifying drug targets. More recently she has engaged in multiple inter-disciplinary collaborations to use knowledge of early mechanism of disease to inform sensitive and differential biomarkers of dementia. She sits on several national and international dementia forums including the Alzheimer’s Society Research and Strategy Group and the Alzheimer Association Scientific Panel. She has published nearly 100 papers and been the recipient of funding from Alzheimer’s charities, European Commission, NC3Rs and UKRI funding bodies.
Dr Simon Lane
VP Technology
Simon Lane is an interdisciplinary scientist and technologist with a background in physiology, cell biology, optics, and engineering. He focuses on technology innovation, designing advanced imaging and spectroscopy systems and custom devices that integrate biology with software, firmware, and hardware development. He has authored over 40 publications with almost 2000 citations, holds two patents, and is a researcher co-investigator on the TIQBio EPSRC Prosperity Partnership at the University of Southampton.
