Lab — American
University of Pennsylvania — Cullen Lab (neuroengineering / living electrodes) (lab brief)
Official site → Philadelphia, PA, USA
UPenn has multiple groups in neuroengineering; one particularly relevant to biohybrid interface concepts is the Cullen Lab, which focuses on neural injury mechanisms and neural tissue engineering treatments.

Why it’s relevant to this site
A lot of future-looking BCI work is constrained by chronic interface biology. Tissue-engineering approaches (including “living electrode” style constructs) are one plausible path toward interfaces that integrate more naturally with nervous tissue.
TODO (citation upgrades)
- Add 2–4 key publications from the lab that directly relate to:
- engineered axonal tracts / living electrodes
- regenerative bioelectronics
- chronic interface stabilization
