Description
Micro and Nano Systems for Biophysical Studies of Cells and Small Organisms provides a comprehensive introduction to the state-of-the-art micro and nano systems that have recently been developed and applied to biophysical studies of cells and small organisms. These micro and nano systems span from microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic devices to robotic micro-nanomanipulation systems. These biophysical studies range from cell mechanics to the neural science of worms and Drosophila. This book will help readers understand the fundamentals surrounding the development of these tools and teach them the most recent advances in cellular and organismal biophysics enabled by these technologies.
About the Author
Xinyu Liu is the Percy Edward Hart Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. Prior to joining the University of Toronto, he was an Associate Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Microfluidics and BioMEMS in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University. His research focuses on microfluidics, bioMEMS, and soft and micro robotics, with applications primarily in medicine and biology. He received the Canadian Rising Star in Global Health Award, the Douglas R. Colton Metal for Research Excellence, the McGill Christophe Pierre Award for Research Excellence, the MINE Outstanding Young Researcher Award, and seven best paper awards at major engineering and biomedical conferences. He is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Dr. Yu Sun is a Professor at the University of Toronto. He holds a Tier I Canada Research Chair and is the founding Director of Robotic Institute at the University of Toronto. His Advanced Micro and Nanosystems Laboratory specializes in developing innovative robotic and AI technologies for reproductive medicine. His techniques have been applied in clinical centers from multiple countries.
