Blue Ocean Capital Inaugurates New Headquarters in Guangming Science City with Launch of "Casual Science Talk" Series and Art Exhibition

SHENZHEN, China – May 29, 2026 – Blue Ocean Capital officially celebrated the relocation of its headquarters to Guangming Science City today, hosting a landmark event that integrated cutting-edge brain science with contemporary art. The housewarming gathering brought together a prestigious group of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIAT), clinical specialists from Shenzhen Second People’s Hospital, Luye Pharma, Shenzhen FoF Group, alongside investors and entrepreneurs from Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

During the event, Mr. Frank Yang, Founding Partner of Blue Ocean Capital, shared his vision in a keynote titled "Embracing Guangming, Co-Creating the Future." He emphasized that the move represents a strategic commitment to the Greater Bay Area’s innovation ecosystem. Guests were invited to a private tour of the new office’s contemporary art collection, reflecting the firm’s belief in the synergy between scientific rigor and aesthetic humanity.

The highlight of the afternoon was the official launch of "Casual Science Talk," a collaborative initiative between Blue Ocean Capital and Angel Hub · Guangming Science City. This platform is designed to foster seamless exchange between scientists, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and investors in an informal setting.

As the inaugural keynote speaker of the “Casual Science Talk” series, Dr. Lu Yi, Deputy Director and Professor at the Brain Cognition and Brain Disease Institute of the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, CAS, delivered a keynote lecture titled “Development and Applications of Flexible Multimodal Brain-Computer Interface Technology.” The lecture highlighted the team’s recent research article, “Laser-Induced Graphene Bioelectronics for Flexible Multimodal Physiological-Electrophysiological Monitoring,” published in Advanced Functional Materials. [More details below]Addressing key limitations of conventional bioelectronic devices in long-term biocompatibility and multimodal signal acquisition, Dr. Lu’s team developed a laser-induced graphene (LIG)-based flexible multimodal brain-computer interface (BCI). This platform enables high-precision monitoring of key physiological signals in human volunteers, non-human primates, and rodent models, while also supporting long-term stable neural electrophysiological recording across species. Building on this technology, the team further established a multimodal closed-loop neuromodulation system integrating neural electrophysiological and peripheral physiological signals, enabling real-time detection and precise intervention of seizure states in epileptic animal models. The study demonstrates the potential of flexible multimodal BCIs for brain disease diagnosis and treatment, and provides an important technological foundation for future translational neurotechnology. This forward-looking scientific presentation not only marked a strong opening for the lecture series, but also sparked in-depth discussions among clinical experts, researchers, and guests on brain disease treatment, intelligent neuromodulation, and the future development of BCI technologies.

Looking ahead, "Casual Science Talk" will be held every two months. It aims to serve as an "intellectual source" where cross-disciplinary ideas collide, facilitating the transformation of life science research and breakthrough into industrial reality.
