FluidFM for bottom-up neuroscience

Why and how to build, modify and analyze controlled neural networks?

Registrations are closed

Understanding how neurons interact on the single cell level promises to provide fundamental insights about both how the brain works and the diseases afflicting it. In this webinar FluidFM is introduced as powerful tool to study neuronal networks – one cell at a time.

In the first part, Dr. Dörig introduces FluidFM technology and how it can be applied for single cell manipulation and studies – with a focus on neurobiology.


In the second part, Prof. Vörös (Head of LBB at ETH Zurich) dives into some of the neuron research his group conducted over the past decade and discusses how neuronal circuits can be built, modified, and studied – also with the help of FluidFM.


Key learning points:

  • What is FluidFM and how can it be applied to single cell studies

  • Creating neural patterns – the bottom-up approach

  • Modifying neural networks with FluidFM

  • FluidFM as artificial synapse
