Bioelectronic devices have been very important as fundamental research tools for probing and understanding the brain with high spatiotemporal resolution, and as therapeutic avenues for treating brain diseases, disorders, and injuries. However, they face notable challenges in achieving full biomimicry at the molecular level, expanded multifunctionality at the microscale, and versatile programmability at the macroscale. Our team is well-equipped to tackle these challenges given our extensive research in bioelectronics, chemistry, materials science, bioengineering, and neuroscience. We develop novel bioelectronics and biomaterials for broad applications in brain-machine interfaces, regenerative medicine, and the study of human neural development and diseases.
