Engineering Graphene for developing Neural Interfaces to revolutionize how we treat neurological diseases

Project description

Platform and implant solutions for treating neurological disorders

Neurological disorders represent one of the most significant healthcare challenges of the modern world, with an estimated one billion people affected globally. These conditions are difficult to treat, as 25-35 % of patients do not respond to pharmacological therapy and have limited alternatives. Although neuroelectronic therapies hold promise for decoding and modulating brain activity to restore normal function, current options are highly limited and restrictive. The EIC-funded EGNITE project aims to develop an innovative BCI Therapeutics platform for intelligent neuroelectronic interface systems paired with AI-powered implants to monitor and detect key biomarkers during therapy and effectively treat multiple neurological disorders.

Objective

Neurological disorders represent one of the greatest healthcare challenges for our society (1B affected people worldwide). 25-35% of these patients are refractory to pharmacological therapy and are left with no options. Neuroelectronic therapies, aimed at recording and stimulating brain activity to restore normal brain function, are emerging as a safe alternative for them. However, current neuroelectronic implants are made of big metal leads with multiple limitations, such as poor resolution, low specificity and high invasiveness.
We, at INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, have the solution. We are developing a completed platform of intelligent neuroelectronic interface systems powered by Graphene dots. We are developing graphene-based neural implants that, powered by AI, will have the capability of reading single neural cells at a resolution never seen before, detecting therapy-specific biomarkers and triggering adaptive responses for increased outcomes in personalized neurological therapies.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

HORIZON-EIC-ACC-BF - HORIZON EIC Accelerator Blended Finance
