| Abstract Scope |
Recent advances in new materials, electronics, and assembly techniques have allowed the design and application of soft bioelectronic systems to integrate with living organisms for a wide range of biological and biomedical applications. In this talk, I will discuss several of our recent examples of soft bioelectronic devices enabled by new concepts in materials science, microfabrication, microsystem integration, and wireless operation. Those functional devices contain one or multiple components of transparent microelectrodes, microscale light sources, and photodetectors in flexible/stretchable formats and allow for stable, high-fidelity, electrical and optical mapping and modulation of cardiac activity in vivo. We envision those soft bioelectronic microsystems will open new windows to understand important biological processes, such as studying heart function, transforming biology and medicine. |
