A Suite for Fabrication, Integration, and Measurement of Biochips Towards Cyborgcells, Biosensors, and Electroceuticals

Abstract

1. To acquire and integrated suite for Fabrication, Integration, and Measurement of BioChips Towards Cyborgcells, BioSensors, and Electroceuticals (total cost $ 283,507) and enable cyborchip development, fabrication, integration, and measurement for cyborgcells under AFOSR award # FA9550-15-1 and propel UCSC world class biochip research including optofluidic chips for biomolecule analysis (Schmidt), micropipettes for sensing and genetic engineering (Pourmand), and plasmonic microfluidics for sensing threats (Yanik). 2. To support research of interest to DOD in biosensors from faculty in the School of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz where currently there is no integrated biochip fabrication facility 3. To enhance the training of underrepresented minority future engineers and scientists via the MESA (http://mesa.ucsc.edu/about/index.html), CAMP (http://stemdiv.ucsc.edu/camp/), and UC Leads (http://stemdiv.ucsc.edu/ucleads/) programs through undergraduate design projects and graduate classes at UCSC.
