In this episode we explore innovative programmes that support research translation.
Coco Newton, a previous participant in Cambridge Judge Business School’s Enterprise Tech and Enterprise TechStar programmes, gives us an insight into how they work and her experience of taking part. Coco also discusses her new spin-out venture and navigating the Cambridge innovation ecosystem.
Coco is a neuroscientist focused on creating new cognitive markers that can help detect Alzheimer's disease years before dementia onset. Coco is currently working as a post-doctoral research fellow in the global EDoN (Early Detection of Neurodegeneration) initiative, spearheaded by Alzheimer's Research UK and Gates Ventures.
Coco completed a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge as a Cambridge Trust Scholar. Her research work investigates novel cognitive outcome measures for preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease using immersive virtual reality tests of navigation. As part of the Cambridge Judge Business School Accelerate programme she is co-founding a spin-out to continue clinical development of these navigation assessments.
Outside of her work, Coco is undertaking the RYA Yachtmaster skipper qualification and holds a Cambridge Blue in lightweight rowing.
