Introduction to BioMEMS

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the multidisciplinary field of Biomedical Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (BioMEMS), as applied to medicine and biology. It teaches the underlying physical and transport phenomena at the microscale, methods of microfabrication (including soft lithography, laser writing, micropatterning, wax printing, and 3D printing), and substrate materials for developing biomedical microdevices. The course will also highlight the application of BioMEMS in areas including, but not limited to, medical diagnostics, cell and tissue engineering, and cancer biology.
