Cambridge researchers developing brain implants for treating Parkinson’s disease
Gabriel Negreanu
Cambridge researchers are developing implants that could help repair the brain pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease. As part of a £69 million funding programme supported by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA), Professor George Malliaras from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering will co-lead a project that uses small clusters of brain cells called midbrain organoids to develop a new type of brain implant, which will be tested in animal models of Parkinson’s disease.
