Electrochemistry-Based Biohybrid Devices

Research Project Outline

The interface between biomolecules and device materials is one of the most important subject for both in-vitro and in-vivo biodevices.We are planning to study the potential use of microelectrode techniques as powerful tool for controlling bi-onic interfaces: special control of cell adhesion / growth; im-mobilization of proteins within a microfl uidic device just prior to analysis; in-situ microcircuit formation with conducting polymers during cell cultivation.These electrochemical tech-niques will be applied to developnovel biohybrid devices including enzymatic biofuel cells.
