Welcome to
the Bio Micro Systems Laboratory!
The
BioMicroSystems Lab performs highly multi-disciplinary research, from
fundamental science to applied work. The BioMicroSystems research
includes application of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and
microfluidics to biology, medicine, and environment, often referred to as
BioMEMS. Our mission is to understand and develop microfluidic systems
and sensors for improving public health and safety. We also have a
strong interest in developing microfabrication and nanofabrication
techniques. The BMS Lab has extensive experience in the design,
modeling, fabrication, and characterization of systems on the micro and nano
scale. We also have extensive knowledge of clean room operations as
well as the associated equipment used to fabricate and characterize MEMS
devices and systems. An additional focus of our the lab is in educating
students in the area of microfluidics.
Since
its establishment in 2000, the BMS Lab has attracted ~$2M in funding from a
variety of sources. We gratefully acknowledge support from (in
alphabetical order):
- Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Research Foundation
- EnteraTech, Inc.
- Emerging Concepts, Inc.
- NSF Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and
Transport Systems (CBET)
- NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE)
- NIH National Institute for Environmental Health and
Safety (NIEHS)
