Our research on multi-modality CMOS biosensor array and its applications in synthetic biology research, drug development, chemical scanning, and personalized medicine receives press coverage at EETimes and other major news media.
We are combining CMOS microelectronics and living biological components to build hybrid "cyborg-like" systems for sensing, actuation, signal process, and biological synthesis.
Our ultimate goal is to see if we could eventually build a CMOS hybrid life form.
