NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Yesse Technologies, Inc., a New York-headquartered biotechnology company, developing a technology platform to digitize the sense of smell, announces today that it was awarded a $670,000 grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson s Research. The funds will be used to advance its nose-on-chip platform to detect the characteristic smell linked to Parkinson s disease (PD).
