The Musk-led startup allegedly transported contaminated implants that may have harbored infectious pathogens that were removed from the brains of monkeys. (via futurism)
over the weekend that Neuralink is now under investigation by the US Department of Transportation for illegally moving contaminated hardware.
According to public documents obtained by animal rights group the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine, the Musk-led startup didn't properly transport contaminated implants removed from the brains of monkeys that may have harbored infectious pathogens including dangerous viruses such as Herpes B, and hard-to-kill bacteria like Staphylococcus and Klebsiella.
Among the documents were several seemingly damning email exchanges between Neuralink-associated employees.
Another UC Davis staffer complained in a separate email exchange that three removed implants arrived in an "open box with no secondary container." "This is an exposure to anyone coming in contact with the contaminated explanted hardware and we are making a big deal about this because we are concerned for human safety," they wrote.
