ANTS Seminar: Thursday, March 9, 2006
Cell-Based Sensors Utilizing Conjugated Polymer Microactuators
Prof. Elisabeth Smela
University of Maryland
Cell-based sensors exploit the inherent selectivity and
sensitivity of biological systems. Such sensors must integrate
transduction, actuation, and control for cell handling and
long-term cell culture on the surface of the chip, for controlling
the microenvironment, and for receiving and analyzing the
signals. System integration efforts will be described for
two types of cell-based sensors in which MEMS devices are
fabricated over CMOS sensors and circuitry. Part of this
effort involves the microfabrication of conjugated polymer-actuated
lidded vials on the surface of the CMOS chip. The experimental
and modeling work required for this aspect of the project
will also be described.
All seminars take place at 500 Technology Square (MIT
Building NE47), First Floor Seminar Room. Any member of
the MIT or Army communities is welcome to attend. For more
