Description: Ultra-flexible, syringe-injectable or tissue-scaffold-integrated mesh electronics engineered to become seamlessly incorporated into developing or adult neural tissue for chronic, minimally invasive single-cell recording.
PREFERRED. Anikeeva's Bioelectronics Group engineers minimally invasive, multifunctional fiber-based neural probes (combining optical, electrical, and microfluidic channels) and magnetic nanoparticle transducers that enable wireless, gene- and wire-free magnetothermal, magnetomechanical, and chemomagnetic neuromodulation, with applications spanning deep-brain stimulation and gut-brain circuit interrogation.
Liu develops ultra-flexible, tissue-scaffold-integrated mesh bioelectronics that become seamlessly incorporated into developing neural tissue, enabling minimally invasive single-cell recording of brain activity with millisecond precision as the brain develops — a bioelectronic sensing platform explicitly aimed at eventual human/clinical translation for understanding neurodevelopmental disease.
