As technological advancements widen the scope of applications for
biomicroelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS or biomicrosystems), the
field continues to have an impact on many aspects of life science
operations and functionalities. Because BioMEMS research and
development require the input of experts who use different
technical languages and come from varying disciplines and
backgrounds, scientists and students can avoid potential
difficulties in communication and understanding only if they
possess a skill set and understanding that enables them to work at
the interface of engineering and biosciences. Keeping this duality
in mind throughout, BioMEMS: Science and Engineering Perspectives
supports and expedites the multidisciplinary learning involved in
the development of biomicrosystems. Divided into nine chapters, it
starts with a balanced introduction of biological, engineering,
application, and commercialization aspects of the field. With a
focus on molecules of biological interest, the book explores the
building blocks of cells and viruses, as well as molecules that
form the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), linkers, and hydrogels
used for making different surfaces biocompatible through
functionalization. The book also discusses: Different materials and
platforms used to develop biomicrosystems Various biological
entities and pathogens (in ascending order of complexity) The
multidisciplinary aspects of engineering bioactive surfaces
Engineering perspectives, including methods of manufacturing
bioactive surfaces and devices Microfluidics modeling and
experimentation Device level implementation of BioMEMS concepts for
different applications. Because BioMEMS is an application-driven
field, the book also highlights the concepts of lab-on-a-chi
