Other Online seminar (via Zoom) with Francesca Santoro: "Designing biomimetic electronic interfaces"

08-05-2020 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Add to iCal

Welcome to an online seminar with Francesca Santoro, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Italy, who will give a talk on how the transition from planar to pseudo-3D nanopatterned inorganic and organic materials have introduced a new strategy of integrating bioelectronic platforms with biological cells under static and dynamic conditions.

Abstract

"The interface between biological cells and non-biological materials has profound influences on cellular activities, chronic tissue responses, and ultimately the success of medical implants and bioelectronic devices. The optimal coupling between cells and materials is mainly based on surface interaction, electrical communication and sensing. Many efforts have been devoted to the engineering of materials to recapitulate both the environment and the functionalities of the neuronal tissue to ensure a better integration of the bioelectronic platform and cells.

We explore how the transition from planar to pseudo-3D nanopatterned inorganic and organic materials have introduced a new strategy of integrating bioelectronic platforms with biological cells under static and dynamic conditions. We also investigate how organic semiconductors can be exploited for recapitulating electrical neuronal functions."
