Beer & Biotech at RoVa Labs
Join us for this month's Beer & Biotech featuring Seth Batten of the Montague Lab at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. Seth will discuss a minimally invasive technology the Montague Lab team has developed to measure neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin in humans in real time — and NebulaNeuro, the Roanoke-based startup founded to commercialize it and open new possibilities for treating mental illness.
If you've ever been curious about what's actually happening inside the brain, this is the one to show up for.

Free parking is available on-site. Enjoy networking from 4:30 to 5:15p and the speakers will begin at 5:15p.
Speaker Spotlight
Seth R. Batten | Co-Founder, NebulaNeuro | Research Scientist, Montague Lab, Fralin Biomedical Research Institute
Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are the brain's primary signaling molecules — shaping how we think, feel, and behave. These are the same systems disrupted in psychiatric disorders. The Montague Lab team at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at Virginia Tech have developed a minimally invasive technology to measure these molecules in humans, opening new possibilities for treating mental illness.
At Beer & Biotech, Seth will walk through the science behind this technology and the story of NebulaNeuro, the startup he co-founded to bring it to market.
