>>1) Lecture:
>>Microdevices for biomolecular detection
>>Scott Manalis, Biological Engineering
>>Massachusetts Institute of Technology
>>
>>Abstract
>>Our research focuses on using silicon microfabrication to develop
>>quantitative, high throughput and real-time techniques for measuring
>>biomolecular interactions.  The most sensitive assays available today
>>rely on fluorescent or radioactive labeling, which require multistep
>>sample preparation methods and relatively large sample volumes.
>>Hence, assay development and throughput can represent critical
>>bottlenecks for large-scale applications.    In this talk, I will
>>discuss our recent progress towards developing sensitive label-free
>>methods for measuring specific proteins and DNA that will be suitable
>>for large numbers of very small samples
