Science and Clinical Manager

Overview

Millions of people live with mental health and neurological conditions that have limited or ineffective treatment options. Sanmai is a Public Benefit Corporation addressing this issue by advancing a breakthrough neurotechnology that offers a new pathway in care. Our flagship technology uses focused ultrasound to open a new path in neurotherapeutics, helping people find the relief they need. We envision a world where safe, effective neurotherapies are accessible to everyone—empowering people to live fuller lives.

Backed by leading venture investors and scientific partners, Sanmai is developing the clinical evidence needed for FDA clearance while laying the foundation for a scalable platform technology in mental health and neurology.

Where We’re Going

We are advancing our first pivotal clinical trial and building a pipeline of personalized, non-invasive therapies. Our goal is to transform how serious mental health and neurological conditions are treated—delivering precision, safety, and scalability at a level that current approaches cannot match.
