Overview

The mission of the Section Bioelectronics is to provide technology for the successful monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of cortical, neural, cardiac and muscular disorders by means of electroceuticals. To this end, we investigate and design active biomedical microsystems employing:

Biosignal acquisition/conditioning/detection
Neuromodulation and -stimulation
Transcutaneous and intra-body wireless communication
Wireless power transfer and management
Energy harvesting
Bioinspired electronics
Implantable electronics
Flexible implants
Microsystem integration
CMOS microfluidic multi-electrode and sensor arrays
Wireless CMOS biosensors and sensor technology
Biosensors, BioMEMS and electrodes
Biocomputing

as applied in, e.g., cardiac pacemakers, cochlear implants, ExG recorders, spinal cord implants, organs on chip, neurostimulators and bioelectronic medicine.

The Bioelectronics group participates in the Electrical Engineering BSc curriculum and three MSc tracks: MSc Biomedical Engineering, MSc Microelectronics, .

Bioelectronics consists of 5 professors, 1 technician, 1 secretary and 12 researchers.

Presentation on electroceuticals, highlighting some of the work done in our section. Read more.

Gravity grant awarded to research on brain interactions

To understand how the brain works, we need to understand how each part, from neuron to brain region, interacts with the rest of the brain and with the outside world. Thanks to a grant of 21.9 million euros from the Gravity program, from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, a national consortium can now conduct further research into this.

Toward a High-fidelity Artificial Retina

Electronic interfaces to the retina represent an exciting development in science, engineering, and medicine – an opportunity to exploit our knowledge of neural circuitry and function to restore or even enhance vision. However, although existing devices demonstrate proof of principle in treating blindness, they produce limited visual function. Some of the reasons for this can be understood based on the precise and specific neural circuitry that mediates visual signaling in the retina
