Founded in July 2017 the Microelectronics Lab (meLAB) aims to promote and support engineering and physical science research in microelectronics design for medical and industrial applications. Our research is broadly ranging from theoretical, simulation, design, fabrication, and experimental work in fundamental physics to applications of medical electronics and cryoelectronics for quantum computing. meLAB is affiliated with the Communications, Sensing and Imaging (CSI) group and Centre for Medical and Industrial Ultrasonics (C-MIU). 

NeuroTech

Smart Material

Transient Sensory Interface

The lab is divided into 3 main research groups: Electronics and Neurotechnology (Prof. Hadi Heidari), Smart Materials (Dr. Carlos Garcia Nuñez) and Transient Sensory Interface (Dr. Roghaieh Parvizi). 

Over the years, we have had ~ 50 MEng, MSc and PhD graduates, from all over the world and attracted over £30M for several research projects, funded by national and international institutions. 

In 2021, NEURANICS Limited  was founded by building up on the successful research into TMR sensing technology. Neuranics is now an established deep-tech semiconductor company developing ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors for consumer electronics and neural interfaces.

In 2024, an innovative spin-out from the meLAB research group (University of Glasgow) was created. NEUROBITE Technologies is a company focused on developing biodegradable, implantable medical devices designed to monitor and treat neurological conditions, such as post-stroke symptoms and epilepsy. NEUROBITE is working on cutting-edge technology aimed at recording and stimulating activity in brain regions affected by these conditions while reducing the need for multiple surgeries, minimizing invasive procedures, and offering more patient-tailored solutions through adaptive software.
