Poised to dramatically impact human health, biomedical
microsystems (bioMEMS) technologies incorporate various aspects
from materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and
engineering. Reflecting the highly interdisciplinary nature of this
area, Biomedical Microsystems covers the fundamentals of
miniaturization, biomaterials, microfabrication, and
nanotechnology, along with relevant applications.
Written by an active researcher who was recently named one of
Technology Review's Young Innovators Under 35, the book begins with
an introduction to the benefits of miniaturization. It then
introduces materials, fabrication technology, and the necessary
components of all bioMEMS. The author also 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.
For readers with a limited background in MEMS and bioMEMS, this
book provides a practical introduction to the technology used to
make these devices, the principles that govern their operation, and
examples of their application. It offers a starting point for
understanding advanced topics and encourages readers to begin to
formulate their own ideas about the design of novel bioMEMS. A
solutions manual is available for instructors who want to convert
this reference to classroom use.
