FET EU Project HERMES

HERMES is a FET-EU funded project that pursues the long-term vision of healing disabling brain disorders by means of brain tissue transplants, a reality that is only possible to date for other organs of the human body. The HERMES consortium is joining their efforts to establish a new paradigm in regenerative medicine, aiming at overcoming the biological uncertainty inherent to it. This paradigm is named Enhanced Regenerative Medicine and it is rooted in the establishment of biohybrid neuronics (neural electronics), that is the symbiotic integration of bioengineered brain tissue, neuromorphic microelectronics and artificial intelligence.
The HERMES consortium joins together 12 partners across Europe, embracing neurobiology, electronic engineering, computer science, and social sciences (ethics, policy, communication and exploitation).
