Absolutely delighted and so proud that Newrotex has been successful in securing substantial European Innovation Council Accelerator grant funding to bring our silk nerve repair technology to patients! This will have a huge impact on accelerating our plans for market approvals and clinical trials.

What an incredible couple of weeks... won a €2.5M grant for Newrotex, welcomed into the world our little boy Conor, and today confirmed CCT and completion of my Orthopaedic training! So grateful to everyone who's supported me, most especially to my incredible wife Zoe De Toledo

Happy valentines day to my wonderful wife Zoe De Toledo


Thank you to Oxford Surgical Innovation committee and Ashok Handa for the invitation to speak today about at your fantastic conference. The trainee talks were very high quality and very inspirational to hear about the first UK uterus transplants from Isabel Quiroga and Prof Richard Smith!


Enjoyed getting to join the great medical team @theboatraces this year. Tough results for @oubcsquad this year, but congratulations to Osiris and Cambridge University Boat Club for their wins! #TheBoatRace




Looking forward to tonight and enjoying the Oxon Business Awards with the Newrotex team!

Amazing experience to go from NiHR grant application to setting up feasibility trial and site PI, to getting the final paper published. Thank you to Steve Gwilym, OCTRU Trials Hub, NDORMS and the whole team for the support and mentorship.

👏 Congratulations to alumnus Alex Woods on coming 2nd on the Airwallex list of Top 20 UK Step Changers!
