Our primary research focus is on the understanding and modulation of interactions between neural tissue and smart materials and biosensors. Several fields of research require the fundamental understanding of these interactions, including neural electrode/tissue interface, neural tissue engineering, implantable biosensors and drug delivery. We design advanced functional biomaterials and electrode devices that will intimately integrate with the host neural tissue. Concurrently, electrochemical, biological, surgical, histological, optical and electrophysiological methods are being developed to comprehensively and accurately evaluate these novel materials and devices. The active research areas in our lab include:
Project Areas
Project Area 5: Biosensor for neurochemicals
Project Area 6: Electrically controlled drug delivery
