STARDUST

in vivo optogeneticS, elecTrophysiology and phArmacology with an ultRasonically-powered DUST for Parkinson's Disease 

STARDUST is focused on design and implement a novel wireless implantable and independent micro-scale device (DUST) enabling in-vivo electrophysiology, optogenetics, data recording and ultra-localized drug delivery in the brain. The long-term vision of the project is to monitor and treat brain diseases through this implantable device.
