Overview
Science Corporation is a private, clinical-stage medical technology firm pioneering biohybrid neural interfaces and brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Its flagship technology is the PRIMA retinal implant, a subretinal microphotodiode array designed to restore vision in patients blinded by advanced geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration, with breakthrough results published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The company is vertically integrated, developing the full technology stack from neural recording electronics to laser projection optics, and recently secured a $230 million Series C financing round to fund commercialization of PRIMA and expand clinical trials. Beyond vision restoration, Science is exploring a broader BCI ecosystem through partnerships and its 'Vessel' perfusion technology platform.
Technology Platform
Vertically integrated platform for biohybrid neural interfaces and brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, encompassing implantable microdevices (e.g., subretinal photovoltaic arrays), neural recording/stimulation electronics, laser projection optics, and wireless power/data transmission.

Competitive Landscape
In retinal implants, primary competitors include Pixium Vision (PRIMAMA system) and potentially others in research. In the broader BCI space, competition is fierce with companies like Synchron (endovascular BCI), Paradromics, Neuralink, and Blackrock Neurotech, alongside initiatives from large medtech firms. Science differentiates through vertical integration and its specific subretinal photovoltaic approach for vision.
