Monolithic cryptographic sensor system covered by Swiss TV (SRF)
Recently developed monolithic cryptographic sensor system integrating a sensor with hashing unit and cryptographic signature unit, aimed at obviating data forgery and manipulation, was covered in "10 vor 10" in Swiss TV SRF.
Perfused parallelized blood brain barrier – tumor platform
Perfused, open microfluidic platform including human blood-brain barrier model in co-culture with tumor spheroids was developed to study drug permeation and efficacy within physiologically relevant context.
Engineering neuronal networks through precise electrical stimulation
Scalable all-electrical method for precise neuronal-circuit reconfiguration with high-density microelectrode arrays was developed. Targeted connectivity changes were successfully induced, quantified across diverse neuronal preparations, and validated through simultaneous patch-clamp recordings.
Best poster award for Manon Murdeu at TERMIS conference
Manon Murdeu receives poster award at Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) EU conference in Mallorca, Spain.
Visit of delegation of city of Wuxi (China)
Delegation of city of Wuxi (Jiangsu province, China) visited BEL on Friday, April 24, attending presentation of BEL activities, particularly in field of neuroeelectronic interfacing.
In-sensor cryptographic signature generation to obviate data manipulation
Monolithic cryptographic sensor system integrating a sensor with hashing unit and cryptographic signature unit was developed that uploads signed hashes to trusted public repository to obviate data forgery and manipulation.
A. Hierlemann voted on 3rd place for ETH Dandelion awards
A. Hierlemann voted on 3rd place for the Dandelion award in the category "The Inspirer & Entrepreneurial Educator" by student and research bodys of ETH Zurich.
Preconfigured neuronal firing sequences in human brain organoids
Firing patterns in human and murine brain organoids do not arise in experience-dependent manner, but are constrained by preconfigured architecture established during neurodevelopment.
Co-culturing of microtissues with recirculating suspension cells
Open microfluidic platform developed that enables co-culturing of 3D tissue spheroids and circulating cells over days. Fluid flow to recirculate cells and promote distribution of cell-secreted factors and nutrients established by device tilting.
