The funding comes after the first-in-patient clinical trials of the company’s devices to prevent hair loss and peripheral neuropathy in chemotherapy patients showed successful results.
30 jobs are being created at the company’s Galway base as it prepares to launch in the US next year.
Luminate was founded in 2018 by Aaron Hannon, Dr Barbara Oliveira and Professor Martin O’Halloran – who were working as medical device researchers at the University of Galway
