What's the common thread between Central Florida's Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, an Ivy League school and NASA?
They're all working with Alexander Britton's company CerebriTech LLC to transform the way athletes' concussions are diagnosed. CerebriTech, where Britton is the CEO, is working with Emrby-Riddle, the University of Pennsylvania and NASA to develop a near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device to do just that.
Britton, who started the company and recruited two professors to help the startup research its technology, is one of five honorees in the 2022 Inno Under 25 cohort.
The annual program recognizes five Central Florida entrepreneurs and technologists age 25 or younger who are making waves in the business community. All five honorees are recognized on Orlando Inno's website, as well as in Orlando Business Journal's Oct. 14 print issue.
Here's more from Britton:
