Cambridge–Dresden Bioelectronics Symposium Brings International Experts to Dresden
On June 15–16, around 130 researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry representatives gathered at the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) for the Cambridge–Dresden Bioelectronics Symposium 2026. Following two successful editions in Cambridge, the symposium was held in Dresden for the first time, offering a globally unique platform for scientific exchange in one of today’s most dynamic fields.
The symposium explored recent advances in bioelectronics and their translation into real-world applications. Keynote lectures were delivered by John A. Rogers (Northwestern University), Eleni Stavrinidou (Linköping University), Sahika Inal (KAUST), and Nicolas Vachicouras (Neurosoft Bioelectronics). Their presentations addressed the latest developments in neural interfaces, plant bioelectronics, biosensing technologies, and clinical applications of bioelectronic systems, including implantable medical devices, advanced diagnostic tools, regenerative therapies, and intelligent sensing platforms.
The event was organized by BiotroniS, a Saxon research network for bioelectronic materials and systems funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In addition to the scientific sessions, the symposium featured technology demonstrations, startup pitches, and networking activities, further underscoring Dresden’s growing role as a hub for bioelectronics and medical technology.
The organizers thank all speakers, participants, partners, sponsors, and volunteers for their contributions to the symposium’s success. Special thanks are extended to Saxony Trade & Invest Corp. (Wirtschaftsförderung Sachsen GmbH) and Organic Electronics Saxony for their support.
