Dr. Jameel A. Feshitan, Co-founder and CEO:
Attained his BS in Chemical Engineering from University of Missouri, Columbia in 2007 and a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Columbia University in 2012. He completed postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he successfully developed oxygen microbubbles to treat acute respiratory failure in a severe lung injury model, and also developed size-isolated microbubbles for ultrasound modulated fluorescence. Additionally, he was a part-time researcher at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) characterizing gadolinium-bound microbubbles for MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery. Dr. Feshitan has over 11 years of experience developing size-isolated microbubbles for in vitro and in vivo applications in ultrasound imaging, targeted drug delivery and focused ultrasound (FUS) aided blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening.
Connor Slagle, Co-founder and CTO
Worked as a biomedical engineer for one of the top microbubble technology laboratories in the world; focused primarily on process scale-up, microbubble functionalization, and clinical translation. He enjoys leveraging machine learning to improve business practices and has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering from the University of Colorado.
Dr. Shashank R. Sirsi, Co-founder and CSO:
Attained his BS in Biomedical Engineering at the University of California at San Diego in 2002 and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University in 2007. Dr. Sirsi continued his post-doctoral studies at Columbia University in 2007 where he studied microbubbles for drug delivery, 2D and 3D ultrasound imaging and tissue scaffolds. Dr. Sirsi has developed advanced methods of quantitative perfusion imaging in tumors for image-guided drug delivery and developed microbubbles for in vivo monitoring of tumor perfusion, in vivo molecular imaging, and for ultrasound-guided drug delivery to solid tumors. Dr Sirsi is currently an Assistant Professor at the Biomedical Engineering department of the University of Texas, Dallas.
