HEKA

The photoelectrochemical research team from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, led by Professor Chen Shu, Associate Professor Zhang Jie, and Associate Professor Liu Canjun, plan to integrate it with their research focused on single-particle electrochemistry, photo/electrocatalysis, electrochemical sensing, in vivo electroanalytical chemistry, and other biomedical application fields, making it an electrophysiology-electrochemistry multi-function combined platform. 

Organoid research is revolutionizing our understanding of human biology by providing three-dimensional, physiologically relevant models of human tissues. Key techniques include patch clamp electrophysiology, microelectrode arrays (MEAs), and optical manipulation, each of which unique advantages for studying the functional properties of organoids.

According to a recent study published by The Lancet Neurology with contributions from the World Health Organization (WHO), neurological conditions such as, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, and migraine affect more than three billion people worldwide, making these conditions the leading cause of illness and disability globally. Despite advances in neuroscience research, many of these conditions do not have fully effective treatments, making the development of innovative therapies a pressing need.

Harvard Bioscience is gearing up to showcase its latest innovations at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2024 meeting, happening from October 5-9 in Chicago, IL.
