Frazis Capital Podcast

This episode features a chat with Rebecca Gingell, who runs business development at OxMet Technologies, an Oxford University spin-out utilizing decades of academic modelling expertise to design and commercialize new alloys.  It turns out that almost every alloy we use in every day life was discovered long ago.  Rebecca explains how we've barely scratched the surface of the potential number of alloys, and shares some interesting facts, like why it's not actually strength that you should optimise for when designing medical alloys for bone implants.  More information on OxMet is available here: https://www.oxmet-technologies.com/  And Becky can be contacted here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-gingell/ 

In this episode we recorded a fascinating chat with Hon Weng Chong, the founder CC Labs. Hon Wen first rose to fame as a cofounder of Clinicloud, an innovative medical devices company that won FDA approval. The firm was originally backed by Tencent and Ping An, and is now developing a new form of computing: instead of using silicon chips, they are growing live self-organising networks of neurons. They're not simulating neurons, they're actually growing them. The technology could be applied to some of the toughest targets in artificial intelligence, and Hon's plan is to take this one step further, and put the entire computational platform on the cloud, so researchers around the world can run novel, live experiments on CC Lab's wet infrastructure. This is cutting edge stuff, so if you want to know more or help in any way please get in touch or reach out to Hon Wen directly.  More information available here: www.cclabs.ai
