Envol Biomedical is proud to share that Dr. Reinier Espinosa, Director of Translational Science and Surgical Services, will be attending the 41st Annual Meeting of the Academy of Surgical Research, taking place September 17–19, 2025, in Minneapolis, MN.

This premier event brings together leaders in surgical innovation, advancing techniques, and translational research. With a strong emphasis on hands-on training and the exchange of knowledge, it’s an ideal forum for showcasing Envol’s growing capabilities in complex surgical procedures and advanced delivery methods.

Why The ASR Meeting Matters

The Academy of Surgical Research Annual Meeting is recognized for its focus on cutting-edge surgical procedures, new technologies, and practical lab demonstrations. Attendees gain firsthand experience in workshops and wet labs, where novel approaches to surgical challenges are shared, tested, and refined.

For Envol, the timing couldn’t be better. Over the past two years, our surgical department has expanded significantly, building expertise in CNS delivery techniques, endovascular dosing, and complex survival surgeries. Participation in this meeting underscores our commitment to advancing surgical science and deepening collaborations with peers across the field.

What Dr Espinosa Will Be Sharing

During the meeting, Dr. Espinosa looks forward to discussing Envol’s latest advancements, including:

  • CNS-Guided Delivery with Breakthrough Accuracy
    Envol’s team has achieved improvements in guided CNS dosing accuracy, climbing from 75% to over 95%. This leap reflects not only technical innovation but also our in-depth understanding of nonhuman primate physiology and anatomy.
