Early stage life sciences company iBIONICS has had “a phenomenal year of growth and learning,” says CEO and co-founder Suzanne Grant.

The company, which is developing a bionic-eye system to restore vision in people with retinal degenerative diseases, has reached combined private and public funding goals of US$2.5 million and added another $1.5 million in grants; it also expects to finalize additional pre-seed financing in the next two quarters.

The firm has secured an exclusive worldwide licence for its prototype and has recently celebrated several other business and technical milestones.
