DESCRIPTION:George Malliaras (Prince Philip Professor of Technology at the 
 University of Cambridge\, UK)\n\n \n\nNeurological conditions affect one i
 n six people\, imposing significant health\, economic and societal burden.
  Bioelectronic medicine aims to restore or replace neurological function w
 ith the help of implantable devices that interact with the nervous system.
  Unfortunately\, significant technological limitations prohibit these devi
 ces from reaching patients at scale\, as implants are bulky\, require inva
 sive implantation procedures\, elicit a pronounced foreign body response\,
  and show poor treatment specificity and off-target effects. Over the past
  decade\, new devices made using methods from microelectronics industry ha
 ve been shown to overcome these limitations. Recent literature provides po
 werful demonstrations of thin film implants that are miniaturised\, ultra-
 conformal\, stretchable\, multiplexed\, integrated with different sensors 
 and actuators\, bioresorbable\, and minimally invasive. I will discuss the
  state-of-the-art of these new technologies and the barriers than need to 
 be overcome to reach patients at scale.\n\n \n\nGeorge Malliaras is the Pr
 ince Philip Professor of Technology at the University of Cambridge (UK). B
 efore joining Cambridge\, he was a faculty member at Cornell University (U
 SA)\, and School of Mines of St. Etienne (France). George’s research on 
 bioelectronics has been recognized with awards from the European Academy o
 f Sciences\, the Materials Research Society\, the New York Academy of Scie
 nces\, the US National Science Foundation\, and DuPont. He received an Hon
 orary Doctorate from the University of Linköping (Sweden) and is Fellow o
 f the Royal Society\, the Materials Research Society\, Academia Europaea a
 nd the European Academy of Sciences.
