Recent highlights

Science Corporation’s recent milestones point to progress on both its clinical programs and the infrastructure around them. On Oct 5, 2026, the company announced 36-month PRIMA BCI clinical-trial results, describing durable vision restoration in blind patients with geographic atrophy. In July 2026, PRIMA received European approval and began a European rollout, marking a move beyond clinical development in that market. The company also strengthened its brain-computer-interface program: on Jun 5, 2026, neurosurgeon Murat Günel was named medical director for BCIs, and on Jul 29, 2026, Nevada Sanchez joined as executive vice president of engineering. Earlier, on Feb 20, 2026, Science and Neurosoft Bioelectronics announced a multiyear, multimillion-dollar partnership to develop BCI products using Science’s clinical-grade ecosystem. These developments followed a $230 million Series C announced on Mar 5, 2026, led by Khosla Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Together, the clinical update, European rollout, partnership, and senior hires indicate a push to advance PRIMA while expanding the company’s broader BCI capabilities.
