Biomicrosystems
About
BioMicrosystems comprise devices, techniques and technologies that perform actuation and manipulation of biological systems, characterisation of biomaterials and probe interactions between biomaterials and tissue at the microscale. BioMicrosystems often replicate operations performed at much larger scales, where we can use these to arrange, examine and sort objects and cells that would otherwise be far too small to hold or touch. This is useful for activities including high-throughput cell manipulation, single-cell analysis, culture of 3D cell constructs and organoids, and for integration with bioprinting, tissue engineering, lab-on-a-chip and biosensing platforms. The field represents transformative technologies that benefit society with applications in wound healing, cellular interactions and developing large scale neural and tissue interfaces.
