Topic: bioelectronics

The workshop brings senior and early-career researchers together to examine emerging challenges in neurotechnology, neural engineering, bioelectronics and biological interfaces. Invited talks cover materials and devices for neuroelectronics and bioinspired materials for tissue engineering. Editor panels, an IDEA League focus session and posters provide opportunities to compare approaches and develop collaborations. A poster award is sponsored by Advanced Electronic Materials. In-person at the Central Library, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Wilhelm-Johnen-Straße, 52428 Jülich, Germany. Starts Novem

Melody is hiring a bioelectronics engineer to integrate protein biosensors, surface chemistry, hydrogels, membranes, and optical or electrochemical readout hardware into continuous molecular-monitoring technology. The role owns wetware integration strategy, diagnostic experimentation, directed-evolution workflows, materials development, instrumentation, and automation for real-world biosensing and eventual in-vivo studies.

The human gut microbiome has emerged as a key player in the bidirectional communication of the gut-brain axis, affecting various aspects of homeostasis and pathophysiology. Until recently, the majority of studies that seek to explore the mechanisms underlying the microbiome-gut-brain axis cross-talk relied almost exclusively on animal models, and particularly gnotobiotic mice. Despite the great progress made with these models, various limitations, including ethical considerations and interspecies differences that limit the translatability of data to human systems, pushed researchers to seek fo
