n our latest episode of What the Tech from Boast, we sat down with Sabina Bruehlmann, CEO of Nimble Science, to discuss a truly revolutionary innovation: Accessing the "dark side of the moon" of human health, the small intestine. 

Sabina's journey started with free computers and straight lines. She became a mechanical engineer in the mid-90s because of a push for women to enter engineering, and because she could "draw really straight lines." But after landing at a biomedical institute, she discovered her true calling: Biomedical engineering, "the ultimate engineering because you have to reverse engineer one of the most complex machines on the planet." 

Today, at Nimble Science, Sabina and her team have developed the SIMBA™ Capsule, a clinically validated ingestible device that's changing how we understand gut health, food absorption, drug effectiveness, and diagnostics. They're working with Food giants to biopharma companies developing biologics. 

Boast accelerates the success of innovative businesses globally with software that integrates financial, payroll, and engineering data into a single platform of R&D intelligence.
