Presently, the following activities are being pursued:
- Development of MEMS based flow sensor on flexible substrate - Realization of a polymer (PDMS) based cardiovascular shear stress/ flow sensor using micro fabrication techniques on catheter to monitor real-time blood flow for atherosclerosis diagnosis satisfying sensitivity, biocompatibility and reliability requirements. The major aim of this research is to develop catheter-based MEMS sensors to provide high spatial and temporal resolution for real-time monitoring in the vasculature.
Separation and manipulation of cells on Microfluidic Platform by Dielectrophoresis - Realization of an integrated microfluidic device with planer electrodes for rapid and continuous separation of biological cells in mixed cell population with high selectivity using dielectrophoresis technique.
MEMS based Biosensor for Electrophysiological characterization of cells – Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is used to study the electrochemical phenomena in cells and the toxicological effects in cells.
