Our story so far…

Our story so far… 

Our story so far… 

Built from decades of neonatal research by the INFANT Research Centre.

Professor Geraldine Boylan is a leading voice in clinical neurophysiology and, since 1996, has worked exclusively in the field of neonatal neurophysiology. She serves as Director of the INFANT Research Centre at UCC, which was established in 2013 under Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) for the purpose of maternal and child health research. Having conceived the initial concept for a spin-out, Professor Boylan, together with co-founders Jason Mowles and Sean Griffin, collaborated with UCC Innovation who guided them through the UCC Spin-out procedure. This culminated in the granting of an exclusive licence for its 'NEObase' database rights in 2021.

NEObase is the world's most extensive repository of meticulously curated newborn EEG recordings. A rigorous due diligence process was conducted to verify the presence of all necessary components, including ethics approvals, patient consent forms, and server security, to facilitate the smooth transition of data to CergenX.

Every undiagnosed neonatal brain injury represents a world of potential and dreams left uncharted.

In 2021, Sean Griffin, former CTO of Cork-based communication software company Poppulo, assumed the role of CTO of CergenX, while Jason Mowles, previously a Finance Director at Bank of Ireland, became our CEO. Dr John O'Toole, a Research Fellow and Investigator at the INFANT Research Centre in Cork University Hospital, and Dr Robert Hogan head up our AI team.

Our team is constantly advancing, and we're poised for a future filled with promise and scientific advancement. 

Which leads us to where we are now… 

With a team of 14 members spread across Cork, Dublin, and Europe, we have plans to grow steadily over the next 18 months. We successfully secured €800,000 in seed funding in early 2022, and an additional €1.2 million in summer 2023. In November 2023, a CergenX lead consortium was awarded funding of €6.7 million under the Disruptive Technology and Innovation Fund (DTIF).

Our story is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of little ones and their families.
The name "CergenX" draws inspiration from the Latin word "cerebrum," signifying the brain. The addition of "gen" represents our commitment to innovation. We chose the name 'Wave' for our medical device to symbolize the meticulous capturing and analysis of brain waves. The term reflects smooth and continuous operation, mirroring the device's capability for real-time, seamless EEG monitoring. Additionally, 'Wave' conveys a spirit of advancement, a nod to this new wave of technology and positions our device as a pioneering force in the field of neonatal protection.
