Michael Lau, MD, FACS, FACOG, MS, MBA – President & CEO
Dr. Michael Lau is a physician scientist, serial entrepreneur, and medical device executive with over 25 years of business experience. He co-founded several medical device and technology companies, three of which were venture-funded and achieved commercialization.
Board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Lau has worked as a gynecologic surgeon, and was elected fellow for both the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Dr. Michael Lau is also a physicist and has co-authored multiple patents, patent applications and research papers in several fields including: biomedical sensors, women’s health, therapeutic ultrasound, biomimetic & bio-similar materials, cosmetic surgery and aesthetic devices, neuroscience, neonatology, and nuclear physics.
A partial list of his recent publications can be found in the National Library of Medicine.
For his MBA degree from Oxford, he concentrated on strategy and technology commercialization.
Hung Cao, PhD – Chief Technology Officer
Dr. Hung Cao is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Irvine. He has 15+ years’ experience in biosensors and wireless technology for animal models and humans as well as bio-signal processing. Dr. Cao is a recipient of the University of Washington’s RRF Award (2016) and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2017) and one of the University of Washington’s two nominees for the Moore Inventor Fellowship 2017.
Dr. Hung Cao has spent years applying engineering tools to biological investigations and healthcare applications. His team has been developing flexible and stretchable micro-sensors and microsystems to assess physiological signals from small animal models as well as in intravascular regions of humans.
The lessons learned by overcoming the obstacles in animal models and other microsystems can be translated and applied to the development of the systems proposed here. For humans, several systems have been developed for wireless ECG, EEG, electrooculogram, electromyogram and blood pressure acquisition with wireless secure data communication to a smartphone connected to the computing cloud.
In animal research, Dr. Cao is the pioneer in zebrafish ECG acquisition and analysis. He has a wide network of collaboration in which his lab supports biological investigations in other labs using his novel tools, as well as running his own studies in cardiac genetics and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
