Symphony Robotics Welcomes Neurosurgery Leader Dr. Neil A. Martin as Chief Medical Officer to Revolutionize Glioblastoma Treatment with First-Ever MRI-Steerable Micro-Robotics

Published

on

MIAMI, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Symphony Robotics, a pioneer in advanced neurosurgical micro-robotics, today announced the appointment of renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Neil A. Martin as its Chief Medical Officer (CMO). In this pivotal role, Dr. Martin will lead the advancement of the company’s groundbreaking, engine-free, nonlinear, flexible micro-robotic system, poised to transform the treatment landscape for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM).

Symphony Robotics, a pioneer in advanced neurosurgical micro-robotics, appoints renowned neurosurgeon as CMO.

“Glioblastoma remains the most treatment-resistant and lethal primary brain tumor, with a median survival of only 14-16 months following maximal safe resection plus adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and a five-year survival rate below 7%,” stated Dr. Martin. “Despite significant advances in molecular characterization and targeted therapeutics, meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes have remained elusive.”

Early preclinical studies using anatomically accurate GBM models under real-time MRI guidance have shown that Symphony Robotics’ platform achieves significant improvements in maneuverability, resulting in up to 3 times the volumetric coverage when compared with existing technologies, with millimeter-level precision, crucial for protecting critical healthy brain tissue while maximizing tumor removal.

Dr. Martin continued, “Symphony Robotics is positioned to transform the treatment paradigm by substantially extending the capabilities of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) in GBM—potentially tripling the ablation volume achievable through its steerability after single-site minimally invasive insertion. Our initial objective is to significantly enhance the efficacy of LITT through precise, nonlinear navigation to previously unreachable tumor margins, even in large and irregular tumors. We are implementing an aggressive translational research pipeline for developing applications to accompany and synergize with thermal ablation, including targeted drug and immunotherapy delivery systems for precision neuro-oncology.”

“Symphony Robotics is built on a foundation of rigorous research and a robust intellectual property portfolio, supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and exclusively licensed from Case Western Reserve University,” said Mordechai (Moty) Avisar, Founder and CEO of Symphony Robotics. “Welcoming Dr. Martin—a visionary leader in neurosurgery—to our team marks a pivotal milestone that will accelerate our mission to revolutionize GBM treatment. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, our platform is poised to optimize therapy and deliver this life-changing technology to patients worldwide.”

The company is currently establishing collaborations with leading neurosurgical centers to initiate beta site testing later this year, ensuring thorough clinical assessment in diverse patient populations and anatomical scenarios.

Symphony Robotics is developing advanced medical technology focused on transforming neurosurgical precision through its engine-free, nonlinear, flexible, micro-robotic platform, leveraging AI to optimize GBM treatment. Recognizing the limitations of current techniques in treating complex intracranial pathologies, particularly aggressive cancers like GBM and medically refractory epilepsy, the company aims to improve surgical outcomes by enabling more precise and extensive tumor ablation, minimizing damage to healthy brain tissue, and ultimately improving both patient survival and quality of life. The integration of real-time MRI guidance with advanced robotics and computational navigation algorithms allows their innovative platform to access and treat previously unreachable areas within the brain. Disclaimer: Symphony Robotics’ products are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not available for commercial distribution or clinical use.

Mili and Egnyte Partner to put Client Documents to work in Financial Advice

Published

By

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.
