Abstract:
This tutorial will present a practical view of the issues
that researchers face in adapting scanning probe lithography
approaches to problems associated with biomedical applications.
The scanning probe lithography strategies that will be discussed
will be geared towards the following areas of research and
development: biosensors, microtechnology, BioMEMS, Lab-on-a-Chip,
biomaterials, bio-nanotechnology, molecular and cellular
engineering, and tissue engineering. The course will aim
to accomplish the following objectives:
1) Describe a
historical overview of scanning probe lithography techniques.
2) Outline a methodology to perform each type of lithography
method.
3) Present examples of patterning of biological and biologically
active molecules.
4) Present examples of patterning of various organic and
inorganic molecules.
5) Explain in detail the biomedical engineering applications
of each lithography method.
6) State advantages and disadvantages of each lithographic
procedure in the context of biomedical applications.
7) Outline future challenges in adapting each lithography
method for advanced biomedical applications
Background
Knowledge Expected of Participants
No special background of the participants will be expected.
A familiarity with basic engineering principles, physics,
calculus, chemistry, and biology is needed to follow the
tutorial.
