QV Bioelectronics

Seed Round in 2020
Time is precious and for patients with the most common brain tumour, glioblastoma, the value of that time really comes into focus when they are suddenly hit with the news there is no cure and that they have just one year to live. Current treatment options are not good enough and come at a huge cost to the quality of that remaining time. Our co-founder Dr Richard Fu recognised this and was frustrated not only by the lack of treatments available for his brain tumour patients but also by major design flaws in newer electrotherapy approaches. Working together with Dr Chris Bullock, a biomedical engineer arising from Manchester's world-class materials research centres, they formed an elegant solution designed to optimise patient life-expectancy and quality of life. Together they formed QV Bioelectronics, and since then, their ground-breaking research has received over $425k in financial awards from several UK institutions, including Innovate UK and the National Institute for Health Research in the UK. The technology core patent has been filed, with full FTO. The team has grown to contain commercial expertise that encompasses individuals with a unicon exit in their CV's, as well as multiple startup experience between them. Additionally, alongside Dr Fu's expertise, the clinical advisory board contains some of Britain's top neurosurgeons who are helping to input into the feedback of the technology design. Our aim is to double patient life expectancy compared to standard treatment without impacting quality of life, so patients can focus on what matters. Join us at QV Bioelectronics, in pioneering a better option for terminal cancer patients.
