Associate Professor Erkin Şeker Receives NIH Trailblazer Award to Develop Novel Neural Devices

By Bonnie Dickson

Erkin Şeker, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Davis, has received a National Institutes of Health Trailblazer Award to develop novel implantable electronic devices to study brain activity. These efforts will help researchers understand and someday treat neurological disorders such as paralysis. The three-year, $628,000 grant is titled “Next Generation Neural Interfaces Based on Axonal Confinement in Micro-Channel Electrode Arrays.”
