Deep Brain Stimulation  Artificial Retina Cochlear Implant

About the lab

The goal of Nano-Bioelectronics & Systems Lab is to develop cutting-edge technologies for neural prosthetics which can help the patients suffering from neural disorders.

Our researches focus on cochlear implant, artificial retina, and deep-brain stimulation systems to restore the functions of hearing, seeing, and movement respectively.

In addition, studies on bone formation and nerve regeneration are in progress for clinical dental implant.

Animal studies and clinical trials are ongoing to verify these systems in collaboration with medical schools and hospitals.
