UCLA Magazine Highlights Professor Emaminejad’s Bioelectronics Innovations

Sam Emaminejad

A recent UCLA Magazine feature highlights Professor Sam Emaminejad’s bioelectronics innovations at the intersection of engineering and medicine. The article describes how his laboratory develops wearable biosensors that continuously monitor the body’s chemistry, including technologies for tracking stress biomarkers such as cortisol and measuring drug levels beneath the skin. It also emphasizes his multidisciplinary, collaborative model for addressing complex, high-impact problems by bringing together engineers, clinicians, psychologists, and other researchers across UCLA to translate emerging biosensing technologies into practical healthcare tools. This research program is guided by his broader vision of moving medicine beyond occasional, reactive measurements toward continuous, real-time, and contextual health information that can support earlier intervention and more personalized and accessible care.
