Design and development of piezoresistive MEMS sensors for applications in life sciences

Microfluidic BioMEMS sensors are a promising technology to bring personalized diagnostic on a chip. Currently large scale instruments are required to take measurements with microfluidic MEMS. This introduces a technical challenge to launch affordable bio medical devices into the market. Therefore, through this project, bulky instruments required for microfluidic MEMS sensors will be replaced with miniaturized microchips, with on-chip piezoresistors. Such a transition will enable us to produce MEMS sensors, at a fraction of the cost incurred in the production of large scale optical instruments, required for our MEMS sensors.
