ARIA Project Manager

Join Dr Nir Grossman’s £4.1M ARIA-funded project developing non-surgical brain stimulation tech for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—manage impactful research.

Dr Nir Grossman leads a £4.1 million ARIA-funded initiative to develop a minimally invasive deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology using temporal interference (TI) — a non-surgical method targeting deep brain regions via overlapping electrical fields. The project aims to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. It involves cross-disciplinary collaboration across engineering, neuroscience and clinical translation, and includes partners from Newcastle University, and the spin-out company MintNeuro. The goal is to demonstrate efficacy in preclinical models and pave the way for clinical application.
