Several members of the graduate program have been awarded a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop flexible bioelectronics systems to advance medical care.
The award will support the development of electronic nanomaterials that could be implanted into the body for applications such as would healing, and could also be safely reabsorbed into the body.
The project is led by UC Berkeley associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences Michel Maharbiz, along with UC Berkeley faculty members Vivek Subramanian and Ana Claudia Arias, and by UC San Francisco researchers Dr. Michael Harrison and Shuvo Roy.
