Faculty
Dr. Abidian’s group explores the interface of organic bioelectronics and neural tissue to develop advanced neuroelectronic devices for diagnosing and treating neurological disorders and diseases. Our work is inherently multidisciplinary, integrating expertise in:
- Materials Science: Design, characterization, and fabrication of biocompatible and flexible organic bioelectronic devices.
- Electronics: Integration of sensor and acquisition electronics for high-fidelity neural interfacing.
- Neuroscience: neural recording/stimulation technologies, and in vivo testing platforms.
- Biomedical Translation: Bridging fundamental discoveries to clinical applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative medicine.
Neural Regeneration: Leveraging combinatorial guidance cues to promote nerve repair and functional recovery.
Targeted Drug Delivery: Development of microchip-based platforms for localized, responsive drug release in brain tumor therapy.
3D-Printed Bioelectronics: Advancing customized, patient-specific bioelectronic interfaces using novel organic semiconductors
High-Performance Neurochemical Biosensors: Designing selective, real-time monitoring systems for neurotransmitter and biomarker detection.
Soft, Low-Impedance Neural Interfaces: Engineering drug-eluting, biocompatible neural probes for enhanced signal acquisition and reduced tissue response.
