Bioelectronics
Bioelectronics develops electronic devices and systems that interface directly with biological tissues and molecules. Organic bioelectronics leverages conducting polymers that are mechanically soft, biocompatible, and ion-conducting, bridging the gap between electronics and biology. Applications include implantable neural probes for treating neurological disorders, wearable biosensors for continuous health monitoring, and electroceuticals that modulate nerve activity to treat chronic conditions without drugs. Advances in flexible and stretchable electronics are enabling conformable devices that integrate seamlessly with the body, opening a new era of personalized medicine.
