Neuronal implants to repair humans, a reality?

For the past two decades, the ESYCOM Laboratory, a joint research unit involving the CNRS and Gustave Eiffel University, has been dedicated to the development and production of neuronal implants for functional rehabilitation. Researchers from this laboratory, in collaboration with the cleanroom team at ESIEE Paris, are working on the development of new manufacturing strategies aimed at improving neuronal implant devices using miniaturized electrodes.

During the conference, researchers in the field of neuroscience will address the scientific challenges and issues of their research work. Lionel Rousseau, leading the ERC NEURODIAM project since 2018, will present significant results from the use of synthetic diamond in the development of neuronal implants.

To prevent implant performance drift, a new fully hermetic sealing solution will be developed based on the latest developments in micro and nano-structuring of the diamond layer, combining conductive and intrinsic synthetic diamond.

Among the invited researchers are:

• Serge Picaud, Research Director specializing in vision at INSERM and Director of the Vision Institute in Paris.
• Clément Hébert, Research Associate specializing in neuroscience at INSERM Grenoble Institute of Neurosciences in Grenoble.
• Serge Bernard, Research Director specializing in integrated circuits and instrumentation at CNRS LIRM in Montpellier.
• Lionel Rousseau, Head of cleanrooms at ESIEE Paris CNRS ESYCOM, expert in microfabrication and leader of the ERC NEURODIAM project.
