Exchange, discussions and impulses

After 4 years it was finally time again - the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute in Reutlingen invited the network of microelectrode array (MEA) developers and users to Tübingen for the MEA Meeting 2022: the 12th International Conference on Microelectrode Arrays for Life Sciences. From Wednesday to Friday (06.-08.07.2022) the 150 participants were offered an extensive scientific program. Measuring miniature brains grown on flexible MEAs, deciphering neurophysiological mechanisms by pairing biological experiments with in silico modeling, and wireless neuroprostheses for future artificial vision were some of the exciting topics presented in more than 20 talks and an extensive poster session. After the scientific exchange, the participants were offered a cultural program. Besides a delicious dinner in the traditional Wurstküche in Tübingen, the participants had the opportunity to take part in an evening punting tour on the Neckar River

Whether on land or on water - the 3-day event not only brought researchers together, but also gave the starting signal for new ideas and collaborations.

Many thanks to Dr. Peter Jones, group leader at the NMI, and Prof. Dr. Günther Zeck, professor at the Vienna University of Technology, as well as all the helpers at the NMI for organizing and running the successful conference. Last but not least, we would like to thank all participants and exhibitors for the many pleasant and exciting discussions.

The scientific program of the MEA Meeting consists of:

• Invited and contributed talks in single-track scientific sessions
• Poster presentations

The topics covered in the scientific sessions will include the full range of research with microelectrode arrays with a focus on:

• Stem cell-derived applications (neurons, cardio, muscle)
• Assay development (multiwell applications, validation strategies)
• Neural networks
• Disease models
• Microphysiological systems (organ-on-chip systems, microfluidics)
• Electro- and photostimulation
• Correlative methods (optical and electrophysiological stimulation and/or recording)
• Human cells and tissues
• In vivo applications (clinical applications, electrophysiological monitoring e.g. of nervous, cardiac or pancreatic signals)
• New technology: materials, designs and fabrication methods
