NOBLE PANACEA, A DEEP-TECH SKINCARE ORGANIZATION, ANNOUNCES
DR. BENJIE LIMKETKAI PhD
CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER AND BOARD MEMBER
NEW YORK, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Panacea recently announced the sad passing of their esteemed founder, Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart. He was a remarkable pioneer, outstanding Chair Professor, Nobel Laureate Chemist, and the founder, inspiration and vision of the Noble Panacea skincare brand. In continuing Sir Fraser's legacy, Noble Panacea is proud to share the news of its newly appointed Chief Technology Officer; Dr. Benjie Limketkai PhD.
Professor Stoddart worked with Dr. Limketkai for many years as he was doing his PhD research at MIT, before he was hand-selected as Professor Stoddart's first employee in 2015 to define applications to democratize and share his groundbreaking Organic Super Molecular Vessel (OSMV™) innovation, the Technology that fuels all Noble Panacea products.
Dr. Limketkai first met Professor Stoddart while working in his laboratory as an R&D scientist specializing in nanomaterial research. It was Professor Stoddart who introduced Dr. Limketkai to supramolecular chemistry and while training at his lab under Sir Fraser's mentorship, they built a partnership helping to develop and share Professor Stoddart's breakthrough OSMV™ with the world. When Professor Stoddart launched the Noble Panacea brand in 2019 he understood that the OSMV™ Technology could transform the beauty sector.
Dr. Limketkai has noted:
'The OSMV™ Technology is an unparalleled delivery system that has redefined the skincare industry. This breakthrough innovation orchestrates the precise release of each potent active ingredient at the optimal moment, seamlessly synchronizing with the skin's natural rhythm to deliver high-performance results. A true fusion of cutting-edge deep-tech science and skincare, our technology ensures an elevated skincare experience like never before.'
— Dr. Benjie Limketkai
'When I embarked on the journey of co-creating Noble Panacea in 2018, one of the first individuals I had the privilege of meeting at Northwestern University was Sir Fraser Stoddart, alongside Dr. Benjie Limketkai. From the outset, we recognized the immense potential of our collaboration. Dr. Limketkai, an MIT PhD, has been instrumental in leading the pioneering mission to commercialize OSMVTM for the first time. Since the groundbreaking launch at Met in 2019, he has overseen our R&D efforts with remarkable expertise and dedication. His ability to demystify complex scientific concepts and communicate them with clarity to diverse audiences has been invaluable.
As a Deep-Tech organization, Noble Panacea requires visionary leadership in technology, and Dr. Limketkai was the natural choice for the role of Chief Technology Officer. I look forward to carrying forward Sir Fraser Stoddart's legacy within Dr. Limketkai's leadership, a vision we have consistently shared and will continue to uphold.'
— Céline Talabaza,
Noble Panacea Co-Creator & CEO
Dr. Limketkai is prized with building the brand alongside Professor Stoddart from the ground up, hiring research scientists to work on the skincare formulations at the brand's own private lab in Irvine, California, something not typically seen within cosmetic formulation companies.
Stationed at the Noble Panacea lab, Dr. Limketkai's contributions to the brand are exponential, including:
Evolution of OSMV™ structures
Discovering new trigger release factors for ingredients (water concentration, pH level, enzyme in the skin, light, etc)
The release of ingredients matched in sync with the skin's overnight biorhythm on The Exceptional Chronobiology Sleep Mask
Combining humectants in oils with The Absolute Nourishing Lift Oil
Enabling UV exposure to trigger the release of antioxidant algae to protect the skin in The Energist Multi-Defense Cream SPF 50
Additionally, Dr. Limktetkai has been involved in the wider evolution of the OSMV™ across other technologies. At the same time as the launch of Noble Panacea, Professor Stoddart and Dr. Limketkai began to work on another project linked to the environment and clean energy, an area of importance to both, including the inclusiveness and access to education for the most disadvantaged. Noble Panacea looks forward to continuing Professor Stoddart's legacy under the leadership of Dr. Limketkai as he continues the advancements and development of the OSMV™ Technology, a true gift from Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart.

EthicAI Advisory Limited: Cambridge spinout launches new tool to boost confidence in AI
LONDON, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EthicAI Advisory Limited ("EthicAI"), a University of Cambridge spinout and global leader in the ethical and responsible assurance of artificial intelligence, has launched a cloud-based AI assurance SaaS platform to address ethical and trust issues around the adoption of AI, unlocking the technology's economic potential. AI models can create problems across a number of areas: Fairness and bias — AI systems can discriminate against certain groups including through hidden bias in training data Transparency — automating workflows can create 'black box' issues where algorithmic decision-making is opaque and consequently hard to understand and challenge Employee impacts — automation may unintentionally disempower, not augment, human workers if not designed carefully. The adoption of AI without enablement and literacy programmes can also erode company culture and employee motivation BeehAIve® scrutinises models and datasets against 15 ethical dimensions, assessing evidence across thousands of measurement points. The platform allows organisations to design, deploy and monitor autonomous systems that are optimised for success. BeehAIve® allows for technical stress-testing of model performance to improve reliability, robustness and security, while also recommending ways to reduce energy usage from AI. The platform enables assessment of models and systems against regional and national legislation including the EU AI Act, GDPR, the Korean AI Act, as well as industry-specific regulations and globally recognised AI standards. BeehAIve® then recommends how gaps can be filled, preparing for cross-border compliance while building stakeholder trust. The platform offers organisations a secure hub for their AI data, ensuring information remains safe and encrypted at all times. Tanya Goodin, Founder & CEO of EthicAI says: "BeehAIve® is a unique platform that enables organisations and their stakeholders to adopt AI with increased trust and confidence. Research shows that consumer confidence in AI has fallen by 8% globally over the past five years due to concerns about how AI is designed and built. BeehAIve® looks under the hood of organisations' AI models and systems — both in development and post deployment — to identify blind spots and weaknesses and provides actionable insights on how to mitigate and manage risks." For further information, contact: tanya@ or tim@ EthicAI Advisory Ltd EthicAI was formed in 2022 to build trust in AI by assuring models and systems to the highest ethical and responsible standards. EthicAI spun out of the University of Cambridge's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, with all the founding team previously engaged in cutting-edge AI ethics research at the university. The founders' leadership experience spans organisations including the BBC, Fidelity Investments, Barclays, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and UBS. Read more about the team here. EthicAI's cloud-based platform BeehAIve® will allow the company to scale its offer, and bring solutions to more organisations, more rapidly. It sits at the heart of the company's mission to ensure the ethical and responsible adoption of state-of-the-art AI systems — powering their success and helping to strengthen the UK's position as a leader in artificial intelligence.

Meta Set to Throw Billions at Startup That Leads AI Data Market
Three months after the Chinese artificial intelligence developer DeepSeek upended the tech world with a model that rivaled America's best, a 28-year-old AI executive named Alexandr Wang came to Capitol Hill to tell policymakers what they needed to do to maintain US dominance. The US, Wang said at the April hearing, needs to establish a 'national AI data reserve,' supply enough power for data centers and avoid an onerous patchwork of state-level rules. Lawmakers welcomed his feedback. 'It's good to see you again here in Washington,' Republican Representative Neal Dunn of Florida said. 'You're becoming a regular up here.' Wang, the chief executive officer of Scale AI, may not be a household name in the same way OpenAI's Sam Altman has become. But he and his company have gained significant influence in tech and policy circles in recent years. Scale uses an army of contractors to label the data that tech firms such as Meta Platforms Inc. and OpenAI use to train and improve their AI models, and helps companies make custom AI applications. Increasingly, it's enlisting PhDs, nurses and other experts with advanced degrees to help develop more sophisticated models, according to a person familiar with the matter. Put simply: The three pillars of AI are chips, talent and data. And Scale is a dominant player in the last of those. Now, the startup's stature is set to grow even more. Meta is in talks to make a multibillion-dollar investment in Scale, Bloomberg News reported over the weekend. The financing may exceed $10 billion in value, making it one of the largest private company funding events of all time. The startup was valued at about $14 billion in 2024, as part of a funding round that included backing from Meta. In many ways, Scale's rise mirrors that of OpenAI. Both companies were founded roughly a decade ago and bet that the industry was then on the cusp of what Wang called an ' inflection point of AI. ' Their CEOs, who are friends and briefly lived together, are both adept networkers and have served as faces of the AI sector before Congress. And OpenAI, too, has been on the receiving end of an 11-figure investment from a large tech firm. Scale's trajectory has shaped, and been shaped by, the AI boom that OpenAI unleashed. In its early years, Scale focused more on labeling images of cars, traffic lights and street signs to help train the models used to build self-driving cars. But it has since helped to annotate and curate the massive amounts of text data needed to build the so-called large language models that power chatbots like ChatGPT. These models learn by drawing patterns from the data and their respective labels. At times, that work has made Scale a lightning rod for criticisms about the unseen workforce in places such as Kenya and the Philippines that supports AI development. Scale has faced scrutiny for relying on thousands of contractors overseas who were paid relatively little to weed through reams of online data, with some saying they have suffered psychological trauma from the content they're asked to review. In a 2019 interview with Bloomberg, Wang said the company's contract workers earn 'good' pay — 'in the 60th to 70th percentile of wages in their geography.'
