Leadership

Daniel Baldoni, MD - Founder and Owner

Daniel has spent his career at the forefront of the emerging neuromodulation industry. Following medical school, he worked in the Advanced Technology team at Nevro where his job was to come up with neuromodulation commercial innovations to feed Nevro’s product pipeline. After leading clinical and regulatory efforts for both deep brain and spinal cord stimulation, Daniel focused his efforts toward noninvasive device development to help patients with aggressive cancer. His combination high-frequency electrical current and ultrasound hyperthermia treatment for glioblastoma will help drive forward the expanding and profitable neuromodulation oncology market. He also has experience in consumer health and currently offers several profitable products including a gyroscopic tremor device.

Yusuf Tufail, PhD - Technology

Yusuf is a Senior Research Scientist at the Lundbeck La Jolla Research Center and formerly Project Scientist at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA. He has an extensive background in ultrasonic neuromodulation and ultrasonic technology development. He is a highly motivated and team-oriented neuroscientist with a background in neuro-glia biology and experience with discovering novel proof-of-concept therapies for synaptic, neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. He is dedicated to hypothesis driven research projects aimed at discovering therapies to correct dysfunctions of the Central Nervous System. He has been discussing the proposed project for some time with Daniel and looks forward to continue contributing to move this development forward. His expertise in ultrasound design and engineering will be integral in preclinical and clinical application.
