LEADERSHIP TEAM

  • DR Nathan JAMES BARNETT PHD

    Founder, CEO, Managing Director

    My fascination for neuroscience has been present for some time with a family member with KBG syndrome and myself having a lived experience with Epilepsy. This led to a recent PhD journey in studying transcriptomic data to better understand mechanisms of Epilepsy. With my developed understanding of bioinformatics as a result of long nights of computing code to unlock biological pathways, I realized a lot more could be done and needed to be done post PhD. So, with this initial journey and being an Epilepsy advocate I have founded Neuronal Epileptotranscriptomic Advancement (NETA).

  • dr alisha tromp phd

    Research Director & COO

    With an extensive background in molecular biology and genetics, coupled with a growing interest in bioinformatics, I have spent over a decade investigating cancer, drug discovery, cardiovascular, lymphatics, and brain function using zebrafish as a model organism. Building on these diverse experiences, I am now focused on integrating these insights to understand and advance the development of personalized treatment strategies.
