Despite the success in neuro stimulation therapies to improve neural disabilities, their long-term implantation is still limited by poor biointegration and risk of a chronic inflammatory response due to the mechanical mismatch between the device and \u00a0the neural tissue leading to \u00a0fibrotic tissue formation and eventually loss of contact between the electrode and target tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the existing advances in neural electrode engineering in recent years, many obstacles still remain to create low-impedance interfaces that can efficiently and reliably inject charges or read signals from a living tissue in addition to minimizing the biological immune response issues and \u00a0tissue damage.<\/span><\/p>\n In this project, implantable neural multi-electrode array (MEA) interfaces with nanostructured (NS) surfaces will be developed to provide improved tissue interfacing and at the same time, promote regenerative behaviours at the implantation site.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||29px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A typical background would include experience and knowledge on biophysics and bioelectronics. Previous experience in extracellular stimulation and recording from cultured neuronal cells using multi-electrode arrays will be very valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n It is expected that the successful candidate will be independent, creative, curiosity-driven and motivated to explore solutions to difficult scientific problems, in addition to strong work ethics. \u00a0A good knowledge of English is required.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The neural interfaces laboratory (NIL) has an active collaboration with several research teams, partially stablished through a previous FET-OPEN project (ByAxon -EIC, 737116).
