Dr. Sudip Mondal has a Ph.D. in Physics and several years of postdoctoral research experience in neuroscience and microfluidics-based screening tools. He has developed several technologies that have translated to the market. One of his recent works at The University of Texas at Austin involved a high-throughput screening platform with C. elegans model systems, which is commercialized by vivoVerse. As a Director of Science, Sudip is responsible for developing new technologies and innovative assays to increase the vivoVerse product & service portfolio.
Evan Hegarty, co-founder, received his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin while developing the technology and IP that lead to the launch of Newormics, LLC, now vivoVerse. As the Director of Manufacturing and Product development, and Principal Investigator of NIH SBIR grants at vivoVerse, Evan is responsible for development of all chip and system designs, creating production schedules, optimizing production methods, managing team members, identifying customer needs, developing future products, and reinforcing GLP and GMP.
A professor with dual appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, Dr Ben-Yakar’s research focuses on the creation of imaging technologies and novel laser surgery with high precision. Educated at Stanford and the Technion in Israel, with post-doctoral study at Harvard, and using her NIH Director’s Transformative Research Award, Dr Ben-Yakar began the research that has culminated in the launch of vivoVerse (formerly Newormics)
