Communications Manager

BACKGROUD Carthera, is a French clinical-stage medtech company focused on developing innovative ultrasound-based medical devices to treat a wide range of brain diseases. The company has developed the SonoCloud®, a breakthrough medical device that emits ultrasound to temporarily increase the permeability of blood vessels in the brain. SonoCloud is an intracranial implant that disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB) at time of administration of therapeutic agents. Several minutes of ultrasound is sufficient to open the BBB for several hours, thus increasing the concentration of therapeutic molecules in the brain, and potentially their effectiveness. Carthera is currently advancing this technology for the treatment of brain cancer and neurodegenerative diseases through clinical trials, and preparing for Market Approval and product launch in Europe and in the United-States. The company is also considering getting public to finance these next steps.
