Symposium co-organizer for IMRC 2025
E5. Functional materials for bioelectric modulation, sensing and regeneration
Interest is surging in functional materials capable to interact appropriately with biological systems. The growing momentum is spurred by the emergence of innovative composite materials, comprising different morphologies and designs of extreme importance to interface, probe, decode, and modulate stochastic fluctuations in biological systems at different scales, sub-cellular to whole cell ensembles.
Functional materials and devices may be applied to investigate how stochastic fluctuations in ion channel trafficking, clustering, and gating, diversifies phenotypes in isogenic populations and limits information capacity of signalling relays leading to mutations and ultimately biological collapse.
The scope of this interdisciplinary symposium is to deliver a setting for discussion on the field of functional materials and bioelectricity of living cells. The symposium englobes and seeks to bridge the disciplines of materials science, physics, electronics, noise and biology to enable the development of next-generation of biomaterials and devices.
