Neuro-metabolic bioelectronic technology
We focus on the development of hardware and computational systems for interfacing with the peripheral and central nervous system in the context of metabolism. It spans the full stack of neurotechnology, from front-end bioelectronic design including implantable interfaces, microfabricated electrodes, and material optimisation, through to back-end electronics, signal conditioning, and real-time data acquisition. A key goal is the integration of these components into robust systems capable of long term, high fidelity recording and stimulation. Applications include peripheral nerve interfaces such as the vagus nerve, as well as implantable interfaces for the brain and the enteric nervous system in the gut. This work ultimately aims to enable closed-loop platforms that can both decode and modulate neuro-metabolic states with high temporal precision.
