Amber Therapeutics is an equal‑opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

Amber Therapeutics is developing a closed‑loop neuromodulation therapy able to treat mixed urinary incontinence for the first time and transform the clinical outcome of a very large untreated patient population. Amber’s fully implantable PicostimTM System targets the pudendal nerve with a device that can both stimulate and sense physiological responses. The therapy is configurable to the individual’s need and able to respond dynamically to different events, adapting as needed between modes of operation.

This principle can be used in broader functional disorders of the nervous system that the Company’s academic partnerships are exploring.
