Congratulations to José-Alain Sahel, MD, co-senior author of the PRIMA clinical trial, on receiving the 2026 Proctor Medal from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, one of the highest honors in vision research. This morning at ARVO, Prof. Sahel delivered the Proctor Award Lecture, "Shooting in the Dark, a Translational Odyssey," tracing decades of gene-independent approaches to protect and restore vision in retinal degeneration, including retinal implants.

Come visit us at the VM Retina Meeting 2026 in Munich from Thurs, April 16 – Sat, April 18 – booth #7. Meet our team and see the PRIMA implant, next-gen glasses, and implantation device up close. PRIMA is our fully wireless, photovoltaic retinal implant which in clinical trials restored central vision to patients with geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration. In a landmark clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine, ~80% of participants demonstrated clinically meaningful improvement in visual acuity at 12 months, and 84% reported the ability to read letters, numbers, and words.

Science has won the iF Design Award 2026 for Product Design in the Medical/Healthcare category for the Axon Terminal, part of the Science Ecosystem. Science partnered with the design firm @Card_79 on the project. The independent jury describes Axon Terminal as “a portable neural signal simulator, like an ‘MP3 player for neural data.’ It enables researchers to load, browse, and play pre-recorded neural signals, offering a precise yet approachable interface for neuroscience experimentation. Its unique form feels familiar like consumer tech, yet purpose-built for scientific rigor. By uniting ergonomic hardware, clear feedback, and durable construction, the Axon Terminal bridges advanced neural technology with human-centered usability—delivering clarity, comfort, and confidence in every interaction.” Read more here: science.xyz/news/if-design…

Our CEO @maxhodak_ joined @juanbenet for a conversation about BCI breakthroughs at Science and how they will benefit patients.
Juan Benet@juanbenet

Excited to launch a new podcast dedicated to conversations on the future of neurotech, computing, intelligence, and more. First guest: @maxhodak_ founder & CEO of @ScienceCorp_, which is building PRIMA, a retinal prosthetic that’s restoring meaningful vision for patients with blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration. Science is also developing a biohybrid brain implant that grows living neurons directly onto a silicon chip, then interfaces that system with the cortex. The possibility space here is vast and new. Imagine growing new areas of the brain. Sections 00:00 What counts as neurotech? 01:45 History of brain-computer interfaces and the smartphone dividend 07:25 PRIMA - How Science is restoring vision in blind patients 10:10 Why stimulating bipolar cells works when the optic nerve doesn't 30:30 Are we bottlenecked by biology or engineering? 32:40 Expanding the brain's bandwidth beyond 10 bits per second 37:00 Can we add new areas to the brain? 37:46 Biohybrid BCIs: neurons growing on a chip 39:20 What could neural augmentation look like? 01:13:20 How Science drives Fast R&D 01:44:00 How founders learn and level up This is the kind of discussion I’m excited to explore on this podcast. Enjoy! Full Episode 1 here and in links below.

Geographic atrophy due to AMD is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, affecting more than 5 million people worldwide. @NEJM Editorial Fellow Katerina Lin, MD, walks through the PRIMA clinical trial, showing how Science's PRIMA system restored central vision and drove a significant improvement in visual acuity from baseline to month 12 – and how patients were able to read letters, numbers, and words. Read the full PRIMA clinical trial results in the comments.

Geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and affects more than 5 million persons worldwide. No therapies to restore vision in such persons currently exist. NEJM Editorial Fellow Katerina Lin, MD, explains a clinical trial in which the photovoltaic retina implant microarray (PRIMA) system restored central vision and led to a significant improvement in visual acuity. Read the full PRIMAvera trial results: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #Ophthalmology

“It’s the first time that any attempt at vision restoration has achieved such results in a large number of patients… This is really something we couldn’t have dreamt of when we started on this journey more than two decades ago.” In a new interview, José-Alain Sahel, MD, a senior author of the PRIMA clinical trial now published in @NEJM, shares his opinion on the resilience required to turn a decades-old concept into clinical reality.
