Background 

Wirefree electrochemistry uniquely enables wireless drug delivery, multi-analyte sensing, and electroceuticals for cell regeneration, as well as seizure and pain control. For the first time, we recently demonstrated that the electric field can be shaped to control reactions.

Research  

This paper reports another significant advance by elucidating the factors to shape the electric field enabling new applications such as the electrodeposition of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine materials to enhance the growth and differentiation of biological cells, release drugs and detect biomarkers of disease.

Potential Impact 

Having a thorough understanding of the electric field will allow for voltage dependent, wireless, and targeted drug delivery, stimulation of biological cells for applications such as deep brain stimulation, and simultaneous sensing of multiple disease biomarkers.
