Interfacing electronic device materials and biology: materials, technology and integration of soft bioelectronic interfaces or "electronic skins".
Design and characterization of stretchable materials and devices; implementation into ultra-compliant, conformable circuitry and soft biointerfaces.
Applications for soft bioelectronics interfaces range from novel user touch interfaces, robotic skins to long-term active neuroprosthesis.

Both AcademiaNet members were appointed Associate Professors, Melanie Blokesch of Life Sciences and Stéphanie Lacour of Microtechnology and Bioengineering.
New therapies are on the horizon for individuals paralysed after spinal cord injuries: The soft e-Dura implant developed by research teams at EPFL, one of them lead by Stephanie Lacour, can be applied directly to the spinal cord without causing damage and inflammation.
