The Next Frontier: Bioelectronic Interfaces

Prof. Mark A. Reed, Yale University

High-performance microelectronic systems (e.g. computers)
and bioelectrochemical systems (e.g. living organisms) are
both highly developed, complex systems capable of advanced
signal processing and computing – yet are fundamentally
different at nearly every level (mechanism, device,
architecture, etc). A major step in understanding these
differences will be the ability to effectively interface
between these systems. Recent progress in nanoscale sensors
have enabled integrated biochemical sensors that have
demonstrated ultrasensitive macromolecule detection, and
real-time cell biochemical response. This talk will review
the recent progress, the outstanding scientific challenges,
and some exciting potential applications in this rapidly
growing new field.
