Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are evolving into highly integrated technologies for a variety of application areas. Add the biological dimension to the mix and a host of new problems and issues arise that require a broad understanding of aspects from basic, materials, and medical sciences in addition to engineering. Collecting the efforts of renowned leaders in each of these fields, BioMEMS: Technologies and Applications presents the first wide-reaching survey of the design and application of MEMS technologies for use in biological and medical areas.

Provides a broad overview of BioMEMS technologies that cuts across the basic, medical, and engineering sciences

Builds from fundamental principles to advanced concepts involving both scientific and engineering aspects

Discusses the design and fabrication of micropumps, micromixers, and other microfluidic elements

Presents a selection of cutting-edge applications reflecting the diversity of biological and biomedical samples

Includes references to background material as well as sources of more in-depth information
