DESCRIPTION:*ABSTRACT*: Bioelectronic medicine provides a new means of add
 ressing disease via the electrical stimulation of tissues: Deep brain stim
 ulation\, for example\, has shown exceptional promise in the treatment of 
 neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders\, while stimulation of periphe
 ral nerves is being explored to treat autoimmune disorders. To bring these
  technologies to patients at scale\, however\, significant challenges rema
 in to be addressed. Key among these is our ability to establish stable and
  efficient interfaces between electronics and the human body. I will show 
 examples of how this can be achieved using new organic electronic material
 s and devices engineered to communicate with the body and evolve with it.\
 n\n \n\n*BIO*: George Malliaras received a PhD from the University of Gron
 ingen and taught at Cornell University and Ecole des Mines before joining 
 Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Materials Research Society\, European Aca
 demy of Sciences and Academia Europaea\, and an honorary doctor of Univers
 ity of Linköping.
