Congratulations @sxphiejenkins 2nd place in the @UniversityManch SBS PhD student poster contest. @EpilepsyInst @GJBrainResearch @DNS_UOM

💜 Today on International #EpilepsyDay we’re highlighting some recent research from our epilepsy theme - including next‑generation tools like the flexible microfluidic mAxialtrode that helps us understand how seizures start. Read more 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/internat…

@ChristosMarkos @DTUtweet @neuroscience_dk @AdvancedScnce @UCLIoN @DNS_UOM @GJBrainResearch @CntmMcr We introduce a novel flexible microfluidic neural interface, termed the microfluidic axialtrode (mAxialtrode), a soft, multimodal device that integrates optical, electrical, and chemical sensing and stimulation capabilities into a single polymer-based neural interface.

Delighted to see @LabWykes contributions to a study led by @ChristosMarkos and Kunyang Sui @DTUtweet with Rune Berg @neuroscience_dk published in @AdvancedScnce. @UCLIoN @DNS_UOM @GJBrainResearch @CntmMcr

Great time at Functional Ultrasound conference @iconeus @DNS_UOM @UCLIoN linkedin.com/posts/iconeus_…

📍fUSbrain #DAYS 2025📍 🧠Day 1 of fUSbrain #DAYS 2025 is underway in Paris! This event brings together the international fUS community to share advances in brain imaging using functional ultrasound. We are proud to support the event as a sponsor, and to contribute to today's program and special evening cruise on the Seine River. ✨ It’s been a great day for the fUS community, and a chance to show our ongoing commitment to neuroscience innovation worldwide. #FunctionalUltrasound #BrainImaging #Paris2025 #Iconeus

Our latest published paper identifies urgent pre-clinical and clinical research priorities for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy – #SUDEP. Every epilepsy-related death is one too many. Together, we can change that. Read more: epilepsybehavior.com/article/S1525-… #SUDEP #Onein100
