Bioelectronic Microtechnology (BEMT) Group

In the BioElectronic Microtechnology (BEMT) team we develop neuro-/bioelectronic devices for applications within medicine and neuroscience. Our work help making future electrodes and sensors for bioelectronic interfaces smaller, more energy efficient and durable.
We are interested in device/tissue interaction and the various aspects of biocompatibility that contribute best possible tissue integration.

The BEMT group participates in the new European Project NeuraViPeR. Read more about our plans for visual restoration by bioelectronic implants here.	I am proud that my application "A factfulness mindset to gender equality" was awarded with the Bertha Ottenstein Preis of the University of Freiburg. The grant will be used to invite excellent speakers to help shed light on how we can best ensure equal opportunities.	New paper from our group "Tutorial - Guidelines for standardized performance tests for electrodes intended for neural interfaces and bioelectronics" just released in Nature Protocols. Read more about the background on the blog post "Behind the paper".
