In this special edition of Life Science Talent Talks, Nehar sat down with Mads Terndrup, the founder of Exo360, a groundbreaking startup focused on transforming non-surgical treatment options for fractures. This episode is part of a collaboration with TechBBQ 2024, where Exo360 will pitch on the Life Science Without Borders stage.
Mads shares his journey from a promising career in orthopedic surgery to founding Exo360, a company that aims to replace outdated plaster casting methods with innovative, standardized solutions using metamaterials. The discussion covers the challenges of merging clinical expertise with entrepreneurial ambition, the development of their first product—the XO360 wrist—and their plans to address diabetic foot ulcers.
