Materials for Bioelectronics

Catalog description

Bioelectronics is an emerging field that involves the use of engineering principles to create devices for applications in biology, medicine, and health sciences. One of the most important aspects of bioelectronics is the development of communication interfaces between biological materials (cells, tissues and organs) and manmade devices for optimal energy delivery and signal transduction efficacies. Progress in materials science and engineering is bringing revolutionary advances to the biointerface design and has unlocked unprecedented applications in various biomedical fields. This course focuses on the materials science and engineering concepts that are of relevance to bioelectronics. It also introduces basic biochemical, biophysical and physiological principles that are required to understand the design and application of bioelectronic devices.
