Bio-Integrated Microsystems Group

Welcome to the Bio-Integrated Microsystems Group

We focus on bio-integrated microsystems with wearable and implantable form factors to advance precision healthcare. Our research spans multiple biological scales, from molecular signatures and organ physiology to whole-organism behavior, with the goal of enabling next-generation health monitoring. We also integrate modulation capabilities by electrical, chemical, and optical means to enable closed-loop operations.

Our core expertise lies in creating micro- and nanoscale sensors and actuators tailored for wearable and implantable use, drawing on MEMS, electrochemistry, molecular biology, and related disciplines.

We emphasize the integration of these technologies with wireless electronics, wireless power transfer, and computing to deliver system-level solutions to science and society.
