Proposals should build on the multi-functionality allowed by 2DMs and demonstrate the advantages of combining e.g. biocompatibility, chemical stability, (bio-)sensing and actuating, and integration with flexible electronic technologies, in addition to versatile surface chemistry (for interface with biology) to allow continuous health monitoring and built-in pharmacological interventions.

The proposals should bring together multidisciplinary teams including engineers, material scientists, pharmacologists, biologists, clinicians, patients, and ethics experts.

Potential application areas include:

• engineering & bioengineering of biochemical or bioelectronic diagnostics or therapeutic devices and platforms
• sensors for digital health
• electronics for brain-computer interfaces, taking advantage of flexible devices
• medical imaging in combination with implantable devices (e.g. MRI)
• graphene for drug delivery of therapeutics (e.g. for neurological disorders).

The safety aspects of the proposed technologies should be given proper consideration.
