About<\/h2>\n
\n<\/p>\n

The neuroengineering group focuses on technology to monitor and control neuronal activity with the aim of empowering basic research, drug discovery and therapeutic action against neuropathologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have developed the PoM (Polymer-on-Multielectrode) array technology, which combines planar arrays of substrate-embedded electrodes and 3D polymeric structures to monitor and stimulate neuronal activity in vitro<\/em>. Using the PoMs, it has been possible to culture individual neurons within microstructures and to obtain multisite recordings of single-unit activity along individual neurites. This tool renders possible a whole new set of experiments in which the anatomy and function of individual neurons can be correlated in vitro<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The group has also achieved a novel family of consumable, all-polymeric cell culture dishes with embedded microchannels and culture chambers. These enable low-complexity, low-cost electrophysiological measurements, including drug screening, with convenient manufacturability. A spin-off, Aleria Biodevices SL, has been created to market this approach to in vitro<\/em> electrophysiology.<\/p>\n

The production of neurochips using conventional technologies is costly and technically complex. In order to help address this issue, we have developed a laser-write lithography system that supports rapid-prototyping of the PoM and all-polymeric devices. In parallel with work on lab-on-a-chip electrophysiology, we are pursuing research on novel optical techniques to monitor neuronal activity. We are particularly interested in photobleaching-free techniques capable of supporting long-term studies on learning, both in vitro<\/em> and in vivo<\/em>. Along these lines we are focusing on plasmon-resonance as measured on functionalized nanoparticles bound to electroactive membranes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
