The Deerfield XSeed award has helped accelerate Bioworkshop’s progress in a way that’s hard to overstate. It has not only allowed us to showcase the versatility of our platform by developing a new model of the central nervous system and Parkinson’s disease but has also embedded us in Deerfield’s startup ecosystem. We’ve enjoyed access to networking events, seminars and support from their partners and contacts. As we’re approaching the next stage of our journey, commercialisation of our technology, I look forward to continuing to tap into the community for support and guidance as well as to contribute by mentoring the next generation of awardees.
