Group activity: CBB Workshop 2013, Biodesign Institute
On August 12, the Center of Bioelectronics and Biosensors at Biodesign Institute organized a workshop where everyone introduced their work within 10 minutes (5 min talk, 5 min question). Great fun and party on that night.

Single molecule level manipulation and sequencing: Push beyond limits
If we are smart enough to design the size and structure of the sensor to match that of a single molecule, many physical quantities that used to be buried in bulk environment can become detectable. The capability of manipulating and sequencing biopolymers with great biological significance, for example, DNA chains, down to single-molecule level, can bring paradigm shifts in biological research and biomedical practices.
Interface with live cells: Bridge the artificial and the biological world
The dimensional and structural advantages of nanoelectronic sensors and the diverse interaction between live cells and nanomaterials/surfaces provide great opportunity for us to rethink how we can bring artificial electronics and live cells together in the most harmonic way.
Bottom-up design of functional nanomaterials/nanostructures
The fundamental understanding and capability of engineering materials/structures at atomic/nanoscale is key for revolutionary advances in bioelectronics and biosensors.
Lab update: Optical table and biohood is up.
The Newport SmartTable and the Baker Biosafety cabinet is now up and running!
