Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar, "Physical biology at the semiconductor-enabled biointerfaces"

Oct 04, 2018 (Thu) | 4:00 PM -5:00 PM
James H. Clark Center, 318 Campus Drive, Seminar Room S360 : Stanford, CA

Refreshments to be served at 3:45 PM; seminar begins at 4:00 PM. Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to biochemical and genetic interactions, cellular systems also respond to biophysical cues, such as electrical, thermal, and mechanical signals. However, we only have limited tools that can introduce localized physical stimuli and/or sense cellular responses with high spatiotemporal resolution. Inorganic semiconductors display a spectrum of physical properties and offer the possibility of numerous device applications. My group integrates material science with biophysics to study several semiconductor-based biointerfaces. In this talk, I will first pinpoint domains where semiconductor properties can be leveraged for biointerface studies.
