About

Angels Almenar‐Queralt is a pioneering neurobioengineer whose work lies at the intersection of materials science, neuroscience, and regenerative medicine. Her research focuses on developing non-genetic neuromodulation tools, particularly using graphene-based optoelectronic actuators to precisely control neural activity without altering cellular genetics. This breakthrough approach enables the study of disease models, stem cell maturation, and biohybrid robotics, offering unprecedented spatiotemporal precision for probing and enhancing brain function. Her most-cited paper (2025, 7 citations) introduces a paradigm shift by eliminating the need for genetic or structural modifications, preserving natural neuronal activity while enabling advanced therapeutic and robotic applications. Almenar‐Queralt’s contributions are critical for advancing neuroengineering, providing tunable, non-invasive methods to manipulate neural circuits. Her work has significant implications for understanding neurological disorders, developing stem cell therapies, and creating biohybrid systems that integrate living neurons with synthetic materials. Recognized for her innovative fusion of nanotechnology and biology, she continues to push boundaries in neurobioengineering, making her a key figure in the next generation of brain-machine interface and regenerative medicine research.
