Oxley is the chief executive officer of Synchron and neurointerventionist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.[1] Trained as a vascular and interventional neurologist, he established the Vascular Bionics laboratory at the University of Melbourne and is currently co-head of this lab.[2]  Oxley is best known for founding Synchron, a company building next-generation brain computer interface solutions that has recently announced the first clinical data on a novel stent electrode (Stentrode) neural interface that is inserted through blood vessels. The company was initiated sometime after his cold-call to DARPA for funding, and has received substantial funding from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Australian government to research this minimally-invasive neural interface technology.[3]Work in brain-computer interface[edit]While Oxley has been conducting research in motor systems since 2003, he is said to have conceived the idea for the Stentrode\u2122 in 2007 and he led the original team at the University of Melbourne that created the technology. Stentrode is the first motor neuroprosthesis, a form of brain-computer interface implanted via the patient’s blood vessels. Oxley’s team in Australia was the only non-US-based group funded by DARPA as part of the Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET) program and led by Professor Jack Judy.Dr. Oxley announced in a 2018 TEDxSydney Talk[4] that the company, Synchron, would initiate clinical trials of the Stentrode device with the goal of assisting paralyzed patients to regain independence.Just two years later, Oxley and Synchron published a first-in-human study on the device in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery. The study showed the ability of two Australians with ALS to email, text, shop, and bank online using the Stentrode Device, and was conducted at Royal Melbourne Hospital. Earlier in 2020, the company had announced that it received Breakthrough Device status from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Stentrode.[5]Oxley’s work has been published in major journals including Nature Biotechnology[6] and New England Journal of Medicine,[7] and he is the founder of three start-up companies: SmartStent  (which was acquired by Synchron, Inc.[8]), VascuLab and Synchron.COVID-19 research[edit]Oxley and his colleagues at Mt. Sinai reported an increased incidence of stroke identified in patients under 50 years of age with COVID-19, which was published in New England Journal of Medicine in April 2020.[9]Education[edit]After earning bachelor’s degrees in medical science, medicine and surgery from the University of Monash in Melbourne Australia, Oxley earned doctorate degrees in philosophy and neuroscience from the University of Melbourne. His training included advanced MRI imaging analysis, hardware device (stent) development, and electrophysiological signal processing. Oxley completed residencies in both internal medicine and neurology, as well as a stroke fellowship. From 2015 \u2013 2017, Oxley completed an endovascular neurosurgery fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York under Professor J. Mocco and Professor Alejandro Berenstein.Scientific career[edit]Dr Oxley has published 100 internationally peer reviewed articles that have accumulated over 6500 citations, with 13 as first or last author and with an H Index of 20.[10]Honors and awards[edit]In 2018, Oxley won the 2018 Global Australian Advance Award Winner,[11] an award given to celebrate international Australians who exhibit remarkable talent, exceptional vision and ambition, the UNESCO Netexplo award for Innovation,[12] and was a finalist for the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Innovator of the Year Award.[13]2020\tAustralian of the Year Award Finalist [14]2018\tGQ Australia Innovator of the Year finalist2018 \tAdvance Global Overall Australian of the Year Award[11]2018\tAdvance Global Australia Award for Life Sciences[15]2018\tCongress of Neurological Surgeons (USA), 2018 Innovator of the Year2018\tUNESCO Netexplo award for Innovation, Paris, France[12]2017\tChancellor’s Prize for Excellence in a PhD Thesis, University of Melbourne2017\tDean’s Award for Excellence in a PhD Thesis, University of Melbourne2017\tInternational INDEX Design Awards Finalist, Stentrode, Copenhagen, Denmark2017\tGraham Brown Best Publication Award, University of Melbourne2016\tPremier’s Award (Victoria) for Health and Medical Research (PhD) commendation[16]2016\tInternational Brain Computer Interface Award Finalist[17]2016\tSMART 100 companies2016\tNomination for University of Melbourne Chancellor’s PhD Award2013\tWarren Haynes Fellowship in Neurology2013\tNHMRC Postgraduate Scholarship2013\tWinner, MTGT Entrepreneurial AcceleratorReferences[edit]^ “Thomas Oxley at Mt.
