“This funding has enabled us to develop and test several prototypes of our retinal camera. This has been instrumental in our ability to secure additional grant funding and accelerated our progress towards the clinic. In addition, Noel Chambers and his team have provided us with invaluable mentorship and access to some of the leading experts in medical research translation who have generously shared their expertise with us. This know-how has been tremendously helpful to us.“
