For neurotechnology, we're interested in talking with anyone working on non-implantable decoding for BCIs. We are also interested in talking with anyone working on advanced biosensors for non-implantable applications. Reach out to p@e184.com for more information.

e184 – Careers We will begin where life begins — with reproduction. And we will follow life’s logic — into symbiosis, and beyond

Our Repro Lab, focusing on in vitro gametogenesis, and our Artificial Womb Lab are located in the Portland metro area. We’re looking for scientists, engineers, and industry professionals. See e184.com/careers for open positions, or submit a general application.

A poster stating that e184 is hiring scientists, engineers, and industry professionals at e184.com/careers

At e184, what we're building matters. We're #hiring at our in vitro gametogenesis and artificial womb labs, and looking to talk with experts for projects in brain-computer interfaces.

Let that sentence sink in. Right now, fewer people get to use high-quality #BCI than get to experience spaceflight.

We're working to change that.

The Age of High-Throughput Screening Scientists don’t have to do experiments one by one anymore

High-throughput screening has sped up progress in the life sciences enormously. Now, it's getting even faster. #biotech

Why Portland? Our scientist's case for why serious science doesn't require a famous zip code.

As a biotech hub, Portland deserves a second look. Here's our CSO's story about what drew him to the city, and what might make it a good fit for you, too. open.substack.com/pub/e184/p/w...

Impressions from Stem Cell Models in Embryology At Keystone Symposia’s conference this year, the embryo model field discussed their next steps forward.

In this post with Joseph Owen, we share our observations from the @keystonesymposia.bsky.social conference #KSEmbryology26. The field is in an interesting place right now, and we're happy that we supported scientists as they figure out their next steps.

Speech Decoding: Where and How Our brain-AI interface should hear what you want to say, without you actually having to say it. What could that mean, in practice?

In our new post with Sofia Kozlova and @peterzhegin.bsky.social, we did a deep dive on one of the most important tasks for our #BCI plans: speech decoding. We welcome comments from experts. If you have something to add, or want to join in, please reach out!

We're eagerly following the activity around @keystonesymposia.bsky.social 's 'Stem Cell Models in Embryology' conference this week. This research could be key to revolutionary advances in reproductive medicine. It's why we're awarding a $500 Poster Award at the event. #KSEmbryology26

We welcome Gavin, CEO of our new lab, e184 BAI, in the UK. He and Anis Rahman have extensive experience pushing the state of the art in magnetometers. We are glad to have him on the team, working towards technologies that will enhance human cognition and enable real-time collaboration with AI. #BCI

Lessons from Uterine Transplantation For some women, a rare procedure represents their best option to have children. What can it teach us about the future of reproductive technology?

More than ten years after the first successes, uterine transplantation is still an extremely rare procedure. For the few who benefit from it, it can be enormously important. What can it teach us for the next stage in reproductive technology? #ART #ArtificialWombs open.substack.com/pub/e184/p/l...

Lab Spotlight: Theunissen Stem cell models are a powerful window on the embryo, and the cells which support it.

We're living in an exciting time for stem cell research. In our new piece, we interviewed Thorold Theunissen about the field's rise, his own exciting recent work, and some of its potential for the future. #StemCells #IVF #ReproductiveMedicine e184.substack.com/p/lab-spotli...

A holiday card with text: "Happy Holidays from e184. A special thank-you to our team, our advisors, our partner organizations, and to everyone who supports us. This season reminds us that life moves in cycles, from focus and activity to rest and reflection, refreshing everyone to evolve and meet the next challenge. We wish you a peaceful holiday season and a bright New Year."

Advisor Spotlight: Embryology Words from our advisors on early development, stem cell models, and the potential of artificial wombs.

We interviewed our advisors for an inspiring discussion on early development, stem cell models, and the potential of artificial wombs. #DeepTech #Embryology #ArtificialWombs e184.substack.com/p/advisor-sp...

Encouraging!

On my way to #neurips2025 - meet me there to talk about how AI will make high performance non-implantable neural decoding possible.

We are developing a thesis for a neuro AI lab. Reach out if you want to collaborate or consider joining us at @e184media.bsky.social

Goals and Approaches for a BCI Model Stack Our invitation to the brain decoding community

In our new post with Sofia Kozlova and @peterzhegin.bsky.social , we talk about brain models: what we will need, what we aim to build, and what we still need to find out. Comments welcome! #BCI #AI #Neuroscience e184.substack.com/p/goals-and-...

This is why non-invasive devices matter: the potential to benefit everyone, everywhere. #BCI

The Next Stage in Magnetoencephalography Widely accessible brain-computer interfaces will require improvements in non-implanted technology. With advances in quantum sensing, MEG has enormous potential.

In a new post with @peterzhegin.bsky.social , read how we're working towards the next foundational technology for brain-computer interfaces: MEG 3.0 #BCI #Neuroscience e184.substack.com/p/the-next-s...

#Neuroscience isn’t just about understanding the brain, it’s also about #engineering it. Here's a great piece exploring why #engineers are key to driving the next wave of #brain science, courtesy of our friends at @simonsfoundation.org and thetransmitter.bsky.social: bit.ly/3XfPqYB #neuroengineering
