Bioelectronics describes the interfacing of engineered electronic systems with biological tissues, or alternatively electronic devices that take on bio-inspired functionality. With improvements and innovation in both active and passive materials, bioelectronic systems are poised to make significant advances in diagnostics and therapeutics as well as robotics and prosthetics. With advances in materials, devices, and systems, considerations for implementation takes on added importance. The push for clinical and commercial translation, especially from early state concepts and prototypes requires special consideration, limitations, and barriers. This MRS/SFB joint seminar aims to highlight established and up-and-coming concepts in bioelectronics across a number of application areas. This workshop will highlight barriers and considerations for translation, and to showcase examples of early stage clinical implementation and commercialization. Speakers will include:

• • Moderator: Jonathan Rivnay, Northwestern University
  • Dion Khodagholy, Columbia University
  • Tracy Cui, University of Pittsburgh
  • Roozbeh Ghaffari, Northwestern University
  • Vickie Webster-Wood, Carnegie Mellon University
