Develop algorithms that use neural recordings from preclinical models to diagnose and predict disease states. This vertical focuses on decoding vagus nerve signals related to inflammation and metabolic states, building on foundational work published in PNAS showing that cytokine-specific neural activity can be decoded from the cervical vagus nerve. Includes chronic vagus nerve recording in implanted mouse models and predicting disease severity and treatment efficacy for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis using vagus nerve stimulation.
