In November, a group within the #WorldHealthOrganization, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), will meet to decide whether the U.S. has lost its measles elimination status.
#PAHO is looking specifically at whether a single chain of measles #transmission has gone on for more than 12 months, as well as whether there are a significant number of cases for which the source of infection is unknown, said Noel Brewer, the chair of an independent committee that assists the #CDC in analyzing the country’s measles situation ahead of the PAHO meeting.
“The country’s had measles cases every week for the last 20 months, and at least one #regional #outbreak has already passed the 12-month mark,” said Brewer, also a professor of public health at the University of #NorthCarolina at Chapel Hill. “There’s no end in sight.”

#Investors are increasingly willing to fund long-term, capital-intensive ventures in #healthcare and deep tech. #Science Corp.’s progress reflects growing confidence in the potential of #neurotechnology to deliver transformative outcomes.

The #US leads the #BCI sector due to strong venture capital support and #research #infrastructure. #Europe follows with a more regulated, research-driven approach, while #India remains in early stages, with limited startup activity in #neurotechnology.

While #Neuralink emphasises #ambitious long-term #capabilities, #Synchron prioritises near-term #clinical #viability. Science Corp. #positions itself between these strategies, aiming for scalable medical #applications with #manageable risk profiles.
