ELEG 547 - Bio MEMS

3 Credit(s)

BioMEMS is the application of MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) technology in the fields of biomedical and health sciences. Due to their small size, BioMEMS have the advantages of low weight, low cost, quick response, high throughput, high efficiency, requiring much less sample. Reagent and easy Integration. BioMEMS found broad applications in disease diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Various BioMEMS products have been developed, such as microfluidic devices, neural interface devices, uTAS, lab-on-a-chip, DNA chips, micro drug delivery system, microsurgical tools, bio-sensors. This course introduces to students the fundamentals of BioMEMS technology, typical bioMEMS devices and their applications.
