MEA Meeting 2010

We invite you to attend the 7th International Meeting on Substrate-Integrated Microelectrode Arrays in Reutlingen in June 2010.

Microelectrode arrays (MEA) are routinely used in basic and industrial research and development in neuroscience, cardio-vascular research, drug discovery and neurotechnology.

MEA 2010 will offer a comprehensive overview of all aspects related to current MEA technique and applications:
1. Heart: Electrophysiology and pharmacology in primary and stem cell-derived cardiac myocyte cultures and heart preparations

2. Neuronal dynamics and plasticity (Information coding and processing in neural networks, neural dynamics and plasticity in neuronal systems).

3. Neuronal engineering (Molecular engineering of cellular and subcellular properties of individual neurons and stem-cell derived neuronal cells).

4. Retinal signaling in developing, adult, and diseased retina.

5. Neurostimulation and neuroprosthetics: MEA-based investigation of principles of neuronal interfacing for therapeutic neurostimulation, neuroprosthesis and brain machine interfaces.

6. Pharmacology, toxicology, drug Screening with MEA-based assays

7. Signal analysis and statistics: Standardization and validation of MEA applications, algorithms, and software, statistical methods for analyzing multielectrode recordings, and data mining.

8. Technology: Advances in MEA technology, fabrication and instrumentation (including arrays with CMOS circuitry and hybrid systems, automated electrophysiology, integration of nanotechnology, multi-parametric detection of cellular signals), electrical stimulation, and cell and tissue culture.

We are open for suggestions for further topics and sessions.

Participation in the biannual meeting is open to researchers from academic institutions and industry who are interested in new developments and the broader application of MEAs in basic and applied science as well as in industrial drug discovery and neurotechnology. In particular, young researchers are encouraged to take the opportunity for meeting the worldwide MEA user community.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
