My primary areas of research focus on the development of minimally invasive neural interfaces for lower risk, lower cost, and higher impact applications in bioelectronic medicine and neural prostheses
Other areas of interest include neuroanatomy and physiology, biomaterials, drug delivery, and inflammation. For more information, please visit http://www.shofflab.com
