Tetsuhiko Teshima

Tetsuhiko Teshima is an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the Associate Professorship of Neuroelectronics led by Prof. Bernhard Wolfrum. His research focuses on neuroelectronics, biointerfaces, and advanced materials for biomedical applications. He is part of the Munich Institute of Biomedical Engineering (MIBE), where he develops innovative technologies such as graphene-based electrodes, self-folding biointerfaces, and 3D-printed neural devices. His work bridges microfabrication, materials science, and neuroscience to create solutions for neural recording, stimulation, and tissue engineering.

Key research areas include:

• Flexible and implantable neural interfaces
• Graphene and layered material applications
• 3D printing for biomedical devices
• Cell culture models (e.g., brain-on-a-chip)
• Biocompatible adhesives and microelectrode arrays

His lab collaborates on projects like the Neuroelectronics Seminar, Microfluidics Design, and BioDT (Biodigital Twin) initiatives. Recent advancements include self-folding cuff electrodes for peripheral nerves and hydrosilane-functionalized polymers for durable biointerfaces. Teshima’s team also explores applications in drug sensitivity testing and closed-loop neural stimulation systems.

Notable collaborations involve the NTT Basic Research Laboratories and interdisciplinary efforts in tissue engineering. His work emphasizes practical translation of microfluidics and MEMS technologies into clinical and research tools.
