Informationen zum Autor Ellis Meng is an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California. As an assistant professor, she held the Viterbi Early Career Chair. One of Technology Review ’s 2009 Young Innovators Under 35, Dr. Meng has been a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation Early Career Translational Research Award. Klappentext Written by an active researcher named one of Technology Review's Young Innovators Under 35, this book begins with an introduction to the benefits of miniaturization. It introduces materials, fabrication technology, and the necessary components of all bioMEMS. The author covers fundamental principles and building blocks, including microfluidic concepts, lab-on-a-chip systems, and sensing and detection methods. The final chapters explore several important applications of bioMEMS, such as microdialysis, catheter-based sensors, MEMS implants, neural probes, and tissue engineering. Detailed examples, exercises, and illustrations help clarify the concepts. Zusammenfassung Combines fundamental knowledge of materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and engineering to convey the basic principles of BioMEMS. This book examines microfabrication and nanotechnology and provides practical examples of commercialized devices in use. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. BioMEMS Materials.
