To date, Nexus iR&D Laboratory, LLC has successfully deployed two companies (Weon Diagnostic Devices, Inc. and Nyx Gallery, Inc.), one event series (Alpha.Nexus), one online idea translation community (Dremr), and an education initiative (Top Tutors), in addition to continuing its efforts in developing new methodologies, software, and technology.
Weon Diagnostic Devices, Inc., a Cambridge-based medical device firm, aims to deliver rapid and accurate detection of common diseases and derangements at point-of-careincluding infections (e.g., UTIs and STIs), heart disease, and cancer.
Nyx Gallery, Inc., an online art gallery, aims to redefine the contemporary fine arts by facilitating and supporting a dialogue among artists, designers, technologists, and scientists.
Alpha.Nexus, an exclusive community of ground-breaking New England innovators and entrepreneurs and an inspiring master class of mentors, advisors, and investors, serves as a novel technology-assisted networking platform for communication, support, and growth.
Dremr (pronounced dreamer), an idea translator and online team-building community, focuses on assisting dreamers with transforming their brilliant ideas into reality.
Top Tutors, a private education initiative, offers individual and group instruction, standardized test preparation, and research guidance in all scientific, technological, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) coursework and content areas for secondary and collegiate levels.
