Synopsis

In the 21st century, we are witnessing the integration of two dynamic disciplines - electronics and biology. As a result bioelectronics and biosensors have become of particular interest to engineers and researchers working in related biomedical areas. Written by recognized experts the field, this leading-edge resource is the first book to systematically introduce the concept, technology, and development of cell-based biosensors. Readers find details on the latest cell-based biosensor models and novel micro-structure biosensor techniques. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this unique volume presents the latest innovative applications of cell-based biosensors in a variety of biomedical fields. The book also explores future trends of cell-based biosensors, including integrated chips, nanotechnology and microfluidics. Over 140 illustrations help clarify key topics throughout the book. Scientists, engineers, and manufacturers involved in the development, design, and application of biosensors and bioelectronics.
