The BioFINE project aims to enhance biocompatibility of such intraneural electrodes so that they function better in contact with the patient’s own nervous system and over longer time. We are working with sophisticated micro- and nanofabrication processes combined with chemical engineering of the surfaces of the implant which helps to modulate the foreign body response.

BioFINE Consortium meets in Freiburg ahead of final project phase
On 15–16 June, the BioFINE consortium gathered in Freiburg, Germany, for a productive project meeting as the consortium prepares for the final phase of the project, culminating in September 2026.
BioFINE meeting 2025
From 2 to 3 October 2025, the BioFINE consortium gathered in Gothenburg for a productive meeting hosted by Chalmers University of Technology.
BioFINE project starts
The BioFINE project, funded by the European Innovation Council within the HORIZON-EIC-2022-PATHFINDEROPEN program, aims to enhance biocompatibility of intraneural electrodes for bionic limbs as a multi-dimensional chemical-engineering challenge.
Project BioFINE to improve bionic prostheses
The Group of Neuroplasticity and Regeneration of the UAB, led by Professor Xavier Navarro, participates in the European project BioFINE (BioFunctional IntraNeural Electrodes). The aim is to enhance biocompatibility of intraneural electrodes for bionic limbs as a multi-dimensional bio-chemical-engineering challenge.
BioFINE - BioFunctional IntraNeural Electrodes
In BioFINE we will develop flexible intraneural multielectrode arrays, capable of interfacing peripheral nerves e.g. to transfer input/output signals from bionic limbs.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101099366.
