Welcome to ABNEL!
Research in the Advanced Biosystems for NeuroEngineering Laboratory (ABNEL) focuses on neural engineering and the interface between neurons and surrounding tissues. Specifically, ABNEL develops novel and transformative devices, biomaterials, and biophysical-based therapies. Current work centers on the gut, heart, and central/peripheral nervous systems.
Please feel free to visit our sister lab Laboratory for Neuromodulation and Neuromuscular Repair (LNNR).
Dr. Koppes Wins NIH Grant
Dr. Koppes, in a combined effort with Dr. Rebecca Carrier of Northeastern and Dr. Linda Griffith of MIT, received a $5M NIH Bioengineering Research Partnership Grant for a submission called, “GuMI: New In Vitro Platforms to Parse the Human Gut Epithelial-Microbiome-Immune Axis.”
Four Students Presenting at BMES
David Diaz, Marissa Puzan, Dan Ventre, and undergraduate Emily Ashbolt will be presenting their work at the BMES annual conference in Minneapolis in October! Congratulations guys!
