Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The basic understanding of in-vivo sensing/actuating mechanisms inspires novel ideas to addressing challenges in various life science applications including point-of-care disease diagnostics (PoCD), environmental monitoring, automation of biological and chemical laboratories, pharmacological and food industries and etc.

This special issue shall consider the publication of research or review papers papers that address the challenge of developing Biologically Inspired Sensor and Actuator (BioSA) systems such as nanopore DNA sequencers or micr-robots respectively. BioSA is a multidisciplinary research approach to mimick the biological micro-environments using standard Integrated Microelectronic Circuitsuch as complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS), Micro-electromechanical System (MEMS) and Microfluidic techniques.  

This Special Issue addressing the design, implementation, modeling, characterization, validation, and/or optimization of BioSA platforms consisiting of CMOS, MEMS or Microfluidic devices  for bioengineering or biomedical engineering applications such as drug testing or other fundamental biological studies.

Emerging infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), Ebola, influenza A, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in recent years have threatened the health and security of the global community as one of the greatest factors of mortality in the world. Accurate and immediate diagnosis of infectious agents and symptoms is a key to control the outbreak of these diseases. Rapid advances in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology offers great advantages like high accuracy, high throughput and rapid measurements in biomedical research and disease diagnosis. These features as well as low cost, low power and scalability of CMOS technology can pave the way for the development of powerful devices such as point-of-care (PoC) systems, lab-on-chip (LoC) platforms and symptom screening devices for accurate and timely diagnosis of infectious diseases. This paper is an overview of different CMOS-based devices such as optical, electrochemical, magnetic and mechanical sensors developed by researchers to mitigate the problems associated with these diseases.
