Bio/interfaces

The Bio/interfaces
Group at the Integrated Systems Laboratory
(Laboratoire des Systmes
IntŽgrŽs - LSI) studies design technologies for
circuits and systems in Biomedical Applications with special focused on
Bioelectronics and Biophysics of the nano and bio structured thin molecular
films integrated on micro and nano fabricated silicon chips The research of the group targets the
design and fabrication of biosensors and bio-interfaces, such as DNA and/or
protein arrays, to probe biological regulation mechanisms for both clinical and
bio-discovery objectives. Research involves both the design of novel biosensing
devices, systems, and software tools. The research is specially focused on
the development of new bio/CMOS interfaces by also integrating nano- and bio-
materials in the electrochemical-sensing surface. The used approach
corresponds to a co-design of the different layers (the bio, the nano, and
the CMOS frontend) to improve the integration of these highly heterogeneous
systems. The research foresees the design of frontend circuits for both
electrochemical and imaging sensors, the development of in situ computational
units with biosensors, and the software algorithms for data analysis.
Specific applications are in the area of implanted medical devices for
continuous real-time metabolic markers and drugs monitoring systems. Other applications
are in the area of full systems (including, nano/bio/sensors, electronics,
and fluidics) for continuous real-time monitoring of cell cultures. |
