Looking for candidates that have comfort in the front end, and/or systems level design, and can be independent in rapid iteration of prototypes. A sub-set of these skills is great, so long as you are willing to learn! BME, MSE, EE/CS, ME and related backgrounds. DM/✉️ me

We are hiring! We’re looking for a Postdoc to take on a key role as a Postdoc in our biohybrid team. Key tasks are to design, develop, and participate in key pre-clinical studies of oxygenation technologies, and biohybrid systems such as "living pharmacies”

But popular demand: the shareable, accessible link! rdcu.be/d5z6s

We highlight the core building blocks, challenges and opportunities in integration and translation, as well as the outlook on this rapidly growing and exciting field.

w/ landmark proofs-of-concept from the lit., we show how these bricks can come together and provide a framework. Imagine spanning more modalities (optical, mechanical, etc) to tackle hybrids that can sense their local environment, actuate, support themselves, and more.

Think about ‘reading’ & ‘writing’ to your bioelectronic or cell-based component. We have a whole library of modalities to communicate between these realms; plus established functionality from each realm. In essence, we build a toolbox of biohybrid bricks, or biohybricks.

Are implantable, living pharmacies within reach? Cell-based drug factories could produce therapies on demand inside patients

We recently highlighted the potential for biohybrid therapies in Science — www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
while impactful, this only scratches the surface…

We argue that the union of bioelectronics and cell-based synthetic biology can bring biological specificity and long range communication (with other devices, stakeholders, etc), precision timing/control, or even added functionality to these broad application areas.

In this work we consider the synergistic role of bioelectronics, engineered cells, (and biomaterials) in assembling first-in-class biohybrid devices that could be critical for rising applications in living therapies, sensors, and biohybrid robotics for example.
