BioMEMS (Biological Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)

Cell-based biosensors

We are developing cell-based biosensors that utilize cellular signaling pathways to monitor the cellular response to extracellular stimuli.


Neuronal stem cells addressed to individual electrodes to be monitored for indivdual cellular responses

Research Interests

  1. BioMEMS
    Our efforts have focused on the development of microtechnology tools for cell biology research and tissue engineering applications.

  2. Hepatic Tissue Engineering
    We study the effects of the tissue microenvironment on the hepatocyte phenotype in vitro, for applications in cell-based therapies.
