Cambridge NeuroWorks and PolyU PAIR Joint Seminar: Prof. John A. ROGERS of Northwestern University delivers “Bioelectronic Systems as Neural Interfaces”
Cambridge NeuroWorks and Hong Kong PolyU PAIR Joint Seminar Series
We are delighted to announce that the second seminar of the Cambridge NeuroWorks and PolyU PAIR Joint Seminar Series will be held on Tuesday 21st July, entitled ‘Bioelectronic Systems as Neural Interfaces’ will be delivered by Prof. John A ROGERS of Northwestern University, U.S.A.
Prof. Rogers is Director of the Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics in the Northwest University. He has co-authored nearly 1000 papers and is co-inventor on more than 100 patents, over 70 of which have been licensed to major companies or to start-ups that have emerged from his laboratories. His research has been recognised through numerous honours, including the James Prize for Science and Technology Integration from the National Academy of Sciences, U.S.A. (2022) and the IEEE Biomedical Engineering Award (2024). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Inventors and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S.A.
In this seminar, Prof. Rogers will explore the transformative field of
bioelectronic neural interfaces, which are reshaping neuroscience and opening up new avenues for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. He will also discuss how advanced electronic and optoelectronic technologies can be seamlessly integrated with soft biological tissues, enabling the precise monitoring and modulation of neuralcircuits across 1D, 2D and 3D architectures.
Join us for an engaging presentation by Prof. Rogers, offering insight into the potential of bioelectronic systems to transform healthcare and deepen our understanding of the nervous system.
