Nanotechnology enabled Biomedical Devices

Abstract

The emergence of minimally invasive diagnostics and therapeutics in modern high-tech medicine has generated an unmet demand in miniaturized biomedical devices. There exist a definite need for clinical diagnostic and treatment instruments that are based on micro and nanotechnologies. In the past decade, micromachining technology and nanomaterials are making big impacts in many fields, especially in the field of biomedical engineering. The small size and low mass provided by micro/nanodevices make medical instruments portable, power efficient, and, in many cases, more effective. This talk will focus on the current development of miniaturized X-ray CT machines, endoscopic optical and ultrasound imaging devices, MEM-based confocal microscope and nanosensors in the Advanced Micro/Nanodevices Laboratory at the University of Waterloo.
