ABOUT US
SonoNeu is a biotechnology company pioneering the development of sonogenetics, an emerging modality that uses ultrasound to precisely and non-invasively control specific cells engineered with ultrasound-responsive proteins. A spin-out from the Salk Institute and co-founded by General Inception, SonoNeu was created by neuroscientist Sreekanth Chalasani, PhD, whose foundational research established sonogenetics as a new approach to modulating cellular activity.
The company is translating sonogenetics into drug-free therapies, which can be switched “on” and “off” when needed, and targeted exactly where needed. The with a long-term vision is to enable non-invasive treatments across a broad range of disorders.
