Nanoengineered Bioelectronic Systems for All-Optical Control of Neuron Growth and Stimulation [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Nerve cells are the primary signal carriers of the human body. When they cease to function normally, our bodies ability to function and sense the physical world is influenced catastrophically. We will develop a new bioelectronic system made by printing clever inks that can artificially stimulate nerve cells without the typical requirements for invasive metal electrodes or external power. These new scientific advances will revolutionize nerve cell repair and treatment of neurological disorders.
