Dr. Andra Velea @BEM Summit 2026

The SoMa team will be returning this year to the Bioelectronic Medicine Summit, which is held between Sept. 28-29, in New York, USA.

This time, Dr. Andrada I. Velea will be traveling to represent our lab and present our group work on the topic of “Thermoplastic Polyurethane as a Novel, Versatile Material for Multimodal Neural Interfaces”.

If you are attending reach out to Andra, she is looking forward to interact and discuss the prospects of this work!

We are very excited to be talking about this technology that we have in the making for a while and that has become a core for the neural interfaces built within our team. We also have a preprint that describes the foundations of this technology which will be up soon! Stay tuned!

Niloufar Behzadpour presenting @FUN26

Our team member and PhD candidate Niloufar Behzadpour attended this year’s Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation Conference held in Paris between July 22-24, 2026.

Niloufar presented her poster “Developing an integrated in vitro platform for exploring multimodal interaction of low-intensity focused ultrasound and electrical stimulation” during the conference, enjoyed stimulating scientific discussions, and came back full of motivation and new ideas!
