Micro/Nanopatterned Conductive Biomaterials for Regeneration of Excitable Tissues

Understanding how micro- and nanoscale conductive biomaterials can promote the regeneration of excitable tissues such as nerves and muscles.

Our work focuses on engineering biomimetic interfaces combining nanotopography and electrical conductivity to enhance neuronal adhesion, alignment, and maturation. These interfaces are designed to support long-term functional integration of excitable cells.

We investigate how conductive polymers (e.g., PEDOT:PSS) and bio-resorbable nanostructures interact with neural and muscle tissues to optimize bioelectronic communication and tissue repair.
