Biography
Dr. Yasaman Soudagar received her PhD in 2012 from Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, under the supervision of Dr. Nicolas Godbout (Polytechnique) and Dr. Aephraim Steinberg (University of Toronto), in the field of Experimental Quantum Optics. She then tenured her NSERC industrial postdoctoral scholarship at Attodyne. Soudagar was always interested in understanding how the brain works. An encounter with a neuroscientist made her realize the need for simultaneous multi-region imaging of the brain in the level of neurons. The encounter gave rise to the invention of the multi-region miniscopes and formation of Neurescence in 2015. In the ensuing 7 years, Neurescence had 2 products on the market and was generating revenue. The highly innovative nature of the Neurescence technology resulted into its acquisition by Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) in 2022, giving greater than 20X return to its early investor. Dr. Soudagar is currently the co-Founder/CEO of her second startup, Exhilarare, focused on advanced manufacturing. She is also an investor through Firehood Angels and is currently advising multiple startups in the Life Sciences and Medical Device space.
