How are you?
I fell all right!
Last week I took my E-Commerce mid term exam and it was great to have the possibility to put myself through the hoops!!
But….after this labour of Hercules (?!?!?) we needed some days off ..as my room mates told you!
Anyway, even if hanging around in these beautiful places is so nice, on Thursday we started working again, attending classes and doing networking!
In fact yesterday we went to a seminar in Berkeley.
The seminar, managed by the Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum and hosted by the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (http://entrepreneurship.berkeley.edu/forum.asp), was about:
"Your Brain in Ten Years—New Startups Advancing Technologies to Keep Your Brain Healthy and Happy, and to Enhance its Abilities"
The speakers invited belong to different companies involved in Neurotechnology that is to say that their aim is to create drugs, devices and therapies to help ensure your “brain’s future health”.
These speaker were:
John Doback, M.D., Founder of Innercool therapies, the technology leader in temperature control therapy.
Zack Lynch, Founder of Neurotechnology Industry Organization, a non-profit trade organization that represents a broad spectrum of companies involved in Neurotechnology.
David Summa, CEO of Acumen Pharmaceuticals, a pre-clinical drug development company that is developing the first effective therapeutics and diagnostics that prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Jeff Zimman, CEO of Posit Science Corporation which provides “Brain Fitness Program”, a series of computer-based exercises that are scientifically proven to improve important brain functions.
And finally the Moderator Jim Glasheen who joined Technology Partners from CIT Venture Capital, where he served as Managing Director, leading the Group's efforts in Life Science investing.

This seminar was very useful to better understand the relevance of this field of study, investment requirements, research and development challenges and regulatory milestones, the Neurotechnology industry should face.
After the seminar since fitness isn’t just about your body but is also about your brain and your heart we were invited from some friends of us for dinner! Max is a really good cook and he prepared for us a delicious Italian pasta!!!thanks Max and Ale..we felt at home!!
