Scientific Advisory Board

For a while now I have been wondering what the team have been doing behind the scenes. I can't recall any direct announcements regarding their research but based on their combined talents and knowledge you would have to expect that they are busy ensuring a bright future of our company.

The Scientific Advisory Board has a Charter to provideindependent advice and expert consultation, with respect to scientific andtechnical aspects related to the short and long term commercial goals of BrainChip.The Scientific Advisory Board also reviews and evaluates the research anddevelopment programs of BrainChip with respect to quality and scope to provideinputs to the Board and management.

Below is a brief outline of who we have on board but I am sure I have missed a lot of detail.

Dr SimonThorpe: Founderof SpikeNet and has a long history of spiking neural networks. Dr Thorpe provides decades of insight in the area of event-based processing and hardware implementation.

Dr AdamOsseiran: Co-Founder andPrincipal Director of Innovate Australia. Adam is a technology specialist andan entrepreneur. In the last 10 years he co-founded 3 technology companiesafter having been finalist of the prestigious WA Innovator of the Year Award.

Adamholds seven patents in the field of design of CMOS structure dedicated tooptoelectronics image sensors for automotive applications, displayarchitecture, acoustic systems and sensors for environmental monitoring andmedical application.

BarryMarshall: Nobel Laureate, Clinical Professor and UWA Brand Ambassador at The University of Western Australia

Prof. Barry Marshall has managed a Helicobacter pyloriresearch group almost since his discovery of Helicobacter pylori with RobinWarren in 1982. Prof. Marshall has received many honors for his work onHelicobacter pylori, most notably they include, the Nobel Prize for Medicine orPhysiology in 2005

He is currently director of The Marshall Centre forInfectious Diseases Research and Training, which was founded in his honour. Inaddition to H.pylori research, the Marshall Centre is at the forefront ofinfectious disease identification and surveillance, diagnostics and drugdesign, and transformative discovery.

Another brainchild of Professor Marshall is the Noisy GutsProject. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a perplexing and persistent problemaffecting 11 per cent of the world’s population. Research shows a strongcorrelation between gut noises and gut disorders, and his team are developing asafe, non-invasive screening, monitoring and diagnostic tool.

ProfessorMarshall has supported Ear Science for a number of years and has dedicated hislife to scientific advancement Ear Science is proud to recognise the co-patronage of such a remarkable individual as we continue to further our research endeavours into ear and hearing health.

Professor Alan Harvey: Emeritus Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology, The University of Western Australia.

He was educated at the University of Cambridge and at ANU.After working in the USA and at Flinders University he moved to The Universityof Western Australia in 1984. He is now an Emeritus Professor in the School ofAnatomy, Physiology and Human Biology. His main experimental laboratoryinterests are in neurotrauma, neurodegeneration and neurotherapy, the workprimarily focused on visual system and spinal cord injury but he also has aninterest in Alzheimer's Disease. He is testing a range of approaches includinggene therapy, pharmacotherapy, biopolymers and cell transplantation in aneffort to enhance cell survival and regeneration of neurons after injury. Hehas published over 200 papers/book chapters and serves on several editorialboards. He is a Board member of the Perron Institute for Neurological andTranslational Science.
