In this episode, Talia Cohen Solal, co-founder and CEO of NeuroKare, explains how a simple blood test could help determine which antidepressant is most likely to work before a patient ever takes a pill. The Israeli startup is aiming to transform mental-health treatment by reducing the painful trial-and-error process that millions of patients endure.
Cohen Solal discusses how NeuroKare converts a routine blood sample into neurons to test how different medications affect an individual’s brain cells, and how the technology could eventually expand to ADHD, Alzheimer’s and other neurological conditions. It is a story of Israeli innovation with the potential to change millions of lives.
