Research overview
Our lab develops closed-loop systems that integrate neural and metabolic sensing with adaptive computational algorithms. By combining signal processing, physiological modelling, analogue and digital bioelectronics, and electrophysiology, NeuMeC bridges engineering and biology to create technologies with clinical relevance and translational potential.
The research centres around bioelectronic medicine, where electrical interfaces with the nervous system are used to study and influence physiology. In collaboration with materials scientists and clinical partners, we develop and investigate bioelectronic systems targeting both the central and peripheral nervous system with a focus on metabolic control. Applications include improving glucose regulation in diabetes and reducing seizure frequency and severity in epilepsy, alongside other chronic conditions. Experimental recordings are integrated with theoretical models and real time adaptive algorithms to enable precise biomarker tracking and dynamic modulation of physiological circuits.
Beyond engineering and biology, NeuMeC is motivated by a broader goal of understanding understand complex physiological regulation and transforming how chronic conditions are understood and managed. Our systems aim to enable earlier detection of dysregulation, support personalised interventions, and move toward more adaptive, data driven approaches to therapy. This contributes to the development of bioelectronic medicine and more precise, technology enabled healthcare.
