Smart and Neuromorphic Biointerfacing Systems

Research in the field of neuromorphic systems in Parma  was started in 2005 when an electronic analog of biological synapse was realized. Currently, the group consists of researches from CNR-IMEM (https://www.imem.cnr.it/AdR/3/Sistemi-e-biointerfacce-intelligenti-e-neuromorfe/intro) and Department of Mathematical, Physical and Computer Sciences and its activity is focused on the realization of deterministic and stochastic networks for bio-inspired information processing and interfacing these circuits with living systems.

Gruppo Erokhin Introduction

 

 

Smart and Neuromorphic Biointerfacing systems section at the Department of Mathematical Physical and Computer Sciences of the University of Parma. Our research activities are based on on developing and studying materials, processes, devices and systems intrinsically endowed with tailored properties including the ability to smart transduce bio-signals, monitoring biomolecules and biomarkers, and for artificial synapses fully emulating the properties of the natural ones.

Neuromorphic systems and artificial intelligence

The development of genetically encoded photoswitchable fluorescent proteins is of greatest interest to expand the toolkit of fluorescent reporters suitable for super-resolution microscopy applications based on random activation of single molecules. We are exploiting YtvA, a photochromicblue light photoreceptor from Bacillus subtilis, as a fluorescent probe for superresolution microscopy. Current efforst include novel GAF domains.

Biomedicine: smart containers and personalized medical treatment

This activity is connected to the realization of smart containers, allowing targeted delivery and induced release of pharmaceutical preparations to the diseased zones or to risk areas of the body. Ideally, the release of the pharmaceutical agents in the case when the disease occurs. If it is impossible, an external targeting can be done telematically by the physician, after the patient request and/or readings from sensors systems.

Bioelectronics and Bioinformatics systems

This activity is connected to the sensing and transduction of signals from parts of the living beings body (eyes, blood, brain, etc.) and interfacing these processed signals with computational and actuating elements. Innovation in materials, architectures, fabrication methods are all active themes of research including their applications to health, well being and improved environment for a better living.
