Advanced Healthcare Technologies
The research group at BEES Lab, DESE, is developing advanced healthcare technologies to screen and diagnose breast, oral, and brain cancer. The group develops single and multi-shank silicon microneedles integrated with microelectrodes and related signal conditioning modules to record neural biopotentials and signals and electrical stimulation of deep brain regions for understanding stroke, the efficacy of anti-epileptic drugs, and therapeutic interventions for Parkinson’s disease. To record the brain’s surface biopotentials and sub-dural signals, such as the electrocorticogram (ECoG), flexible devices with biocompatible materials with recording electrodes at microscale resolution are designed and fabricated. The focus is also on developing smart steerable catheters for managing airway obstruction in infants and ablation catheters. The group collaborates with twenty-two clinicians towards translational research.
