Zhenan Bao: the potential of Neurostring

NeuroString is a hair-thin multichannel biosensor and stimulator with promising potential applications in drug delivery, nerve stimulation, smart fabrics, and more.

SRC faculty member, Zhenan Bao, Professor of Chemical Engineering and director of the Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiative (eWEAR), and her research team “anticipates that such devices could have far-reaching impacts in fields ranging from neuroscience to gastroenterology. They envision that it could yield robotic pills that can be swallowed to diagnose medical conditions throughout the gastrointestinal tract or be wrapped around an optical fiber to create an ultra-thin endoscope.”
