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).
