Multifunctional microelectronic fibers enable wireless modulation of gut and brain neural circuits go.nature.com/3qWfw6c

We had such a blast collaborating to make new tools to wirelessly control and record from gut and brain. Check out the paper in @NatureBiotech: nature.com/articles/s4158… @ath_1910 @OrgucSirma @AnikeevaLab @gutbrains

Our lab’s work on flexible neural interfaces for chronic interrogation of the gut-brain axis is now published in Nature Biotech Congratulations to Atharva, Laura @gutbrains, Sirma, and all the authors news.mit.edu/2023/unravelin…

Our labs first study combining flexible fibers and ferromagnetic composites for soft robotics is now out at Advanced Materials. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Congratulations to Dr. Indie Garwood! Co-advised by Emery Brown in the Neuroscience Statistics Research Lab, Indie developed multifunctional neural probes and statistical methods for electrophysiology to study mechanisms and biomarkers of anesthesia. @mit_hst @MillerLabMIT

I am beyond excited to be starting my lab (chenlab-ucsf.org) @UCSF in the Department of Neurological Surgery @NeurosurgUCSF in March! We will be developing tools to study brain-body physiology and to explore treatment concepts for circuit disorders.

Huge congrats to Dr. Anthony Tabet on a phenomenal PhD defense today. Anthony was co-advised by the @AnikeevaLab and leveraged the unique skill sets of both labs to push the boundaries of cancer neuroimmunology. Excited to see what you accomplish next!

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Anthony Tabet! Anthony was the first PhD student in our lab to work on cancer and neuroimmunology. He was co-advised by @TheWittrupLab and brought together two platforms (bioelectronics and engineered proteins) to study brain cancers 🧠

Our latest Primer describes different magnetic transduction mechanisms, the design of nanotransducers and example applications for studying cell signalling and neuroscience. @AnikeevaLab @mcgovernmit @mit_dmse @RLEatMIT @PralleLab @RomerosLab go.nature.com/3TDVFBq

Prof. Polina Anikeeva will be giving a Special Lecture at #SfN22 @SfNtweets today, Wednesday Nov 16, at 10:30–11:30 a.m. PST From Atoms to Behavior: Creating Tools To Probe Neurobiological Complexity See you there!

I’m presenting at SfN! There will be two chances to catch me at my poster: Saturday Nov 12 6:30-8:30 at the Trainee Professional Development Awards Session Wednesday Nov 16 1-5p, Poster 736.22 Can’t wait to catch up! 🧠 #SfN2022 @SfNtweets @AnikeevaLab @MillerLabMIT

In addition to being a practicing neurosurgeon and PhD scientist, postdoc Caroline Apra is a talented opera singer as well She had a farewell concert before she leaves to start her independent faculty career in Paris at the end of the month

Our lab’s first NHP study using flexible fiber neurotechnology is now online. In collaboration with @MillerLabMIT, @IndieGarwood investigated local inhibition of the premotor cortex and putamen during cognitive behavior. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ready for our #CRUKBrain22 session #2? @bppebattaglia, @TheTabet, @Yoon_Seok_Kim & @swalkersamuel will discuss how novel tools and technologies from the field of neuroscience could be used to probe the nervous system & its contributions to #braintumour development. #btsm

Bioeng pick of the week! @DekelRosenfeld @AnikeevaLab and team show that nerve growth can be accelerated by magnetothermal activation using nanoparticles, offering a remote and minimally invasive approach for the treatment of nerve injuries @AdvSciNews 👏 bit.ly/3BP2g6J

Very excited to share our new publication with @AnikeevaLab of using the magnetothermal approach for remote control on nerve growth now out at Advanced Functional Materials! @AnikeevaLab @stem_program @TelAvivUni onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad….

Congratulations to our newest PhD graduate, Dr. Juliette Marion! While in our group and in Prof. Yoel Fink's lab, Juliette pioneered a method to create elastic fiber-based electrodes. She returns to France tomorrow to begin the next stage of her career. Best wishes Juliette!

A preprint of our lab’s first work in neuroimmunology and cancer is now online. This was led by Anthony and is in collaboration with @TheWittrupLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
