Prof. Christiane Helm and Muhammad Khurram from subproject A04 in our CRC 1270 ELAINE have successfully developed the first-ever organic and electrically conductive coating – a significant step toward next-generation bioelectronic implants.
This innovation enables electrically active coatings for medical implants, opening new possibilities for regenerative therapies in orthopaedics and beyond. Such coatings could one day support healing by actively interacting with human tissue through precisely targeted electrical stimulation.
It results from outstanding interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly between the University of Greifswald and University of Rostock, bringing together materials science, electrical engineering, and biomedical research experts under CRC 1270 ELAINE.
