Neuroscience and neuro-oncology are growing rapidly, exploring unknown mechanisms in development of various brain diseases, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), depression and various types of spontaneous glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Bioelectronics, on the other hand, opens a new route for diagnosis and therapy of different types of diseases. Despite all the advances in both fields, there is still a translational gap between these branches of science. Interdisciplinary knowledge of nanomaterials, device fabrication, imaging, artificial intelligence and neuro-engineering is required to introduce bioelectronics as a novel precision health toolbox for early diagnosis and more effective therapy of different brain diseases.

This presentation will include recently developed pre-clinical and clinical progresses in two novel and highly sensitive diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, which are based on wireless magnetic or optical responses of nanoparticles in body. Then, I will discuss how these technologies can be utilized to pave the ways toward breakthrough discoveries and applications in pre-clinical and clinical neuroscience and neuro-oncology research, using a combination of nanotechnology, molecular engineering, flexible bioelectronics and advanced imaging.
