About the Seminar
Join us for a special seminar celebrating the winning solutions from the SPARC Neuromod Prize. This NIH Common Fund SPARC initiative challenged innovators to develop peripheral nerve stimulation therapies that can independently regulate multiple autonomic functions without affecting non-target organs. Hear from the winning teams at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Urology (Dr. Changfeng Tai) and Juniper Biomedical (Mr. David Constantine) as they present their groundbreaking neuromodulation technologies for treating bladder, bowel, and related disorders. The seminar will be introduced by the NIH Program Officer (Dr. Sahana Kukke) overseeing this $9.8 million competition that advanced the field of targeted neuromodulation from concept to clinical application.
After the event, the video will available on the SPARC YouTube Channel.
