Projectdetails

Introduction

RELAI will design and exploit a toolbox of innovative bioelectronic technologies and surgical constructs that will enable new possibilities in neural interfacing and revolutionise the way we transduce information to and from the human body.

Technology Overview

This new class of living bioelectronics will leverage bespoke electrode arrays and electrical stimulation paradigms to guide neural regeneration within autologous surgical constructs in vivo.

Hypothesis

The reinnervated constructs are hypothesised to form living high-resolution interfaces that will enable precise modulation of somatic and autonomic functions via injured and intact nerves.

Applications

This innovative class of biohybrid interfaces will enable a broad array of applications, including:

  1. Treatment of chronic conditions (such as diabetes)
  2. Enhanced operation of advanced neuroprostheses
  3. Realisation of supraphysiological sensing
