Suite of Ingestible Devices Opens Window to the Gut Nervous System, Microbiome
Assistant Professor Khalil Ramadi's lab at NYU Tandon and NYU Abu Dhabi has developed a suite of swallowable devices — including ICOPS, which uses optogenetics to stimulate gut neurons via an LED capsule, and CORAL, which collects microbiome samples from the upper GI tract — to open previously inaccessible windows into the gut-brain axis.
