The electronic device for sensing and/or actuating comprises a device surface to which an biological cell (40) is applied, further comprising a sensor and/or an actuator (25), and an access channel (20) with a channel port (21), said channel port being located in said surface. The access channel (20) is designed such that the biological cell (40) can enter the access channel (20) to thereby provide access to the sensor (25). Particularly the cell (40) forms a protruding portion (41) by entering the access channel (20), which portion is sensed. The access channel (20) may be provided with a specific sensor port at which the sensor (25) is present. The device may be used for sensing or actuating biological cells, such as neurons, for instance in electroporation treatments.
