Goal is a closed-loop system that treats diseases by modulating the activity of peripheral nerves.
Aimed at conditions such as chronic pain, inflammatory disease and post-traumatic stress.
Selected research includes:
– optogenetic methods for treating neuropathic pain
– non-invasive, targeted ultrasound for neuromodulation
– map the nerve pathways that underlie intestinal inflammation
– magnetic nanoparticles for localized, precision in vivo neuromodulation through thermal activation of neurons
