For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course is a project-based introduction to manipulating and characterizing cells and biological molecules using microfabricated tools. It is designed for first year undergraduate students. In the first half of the term, students perform laboratory exercises designed to introduce (1) the design, manufacture, and use of microfluidic channels, (2) techniques for sorting and manipulating cells and biomolecules, and (3) making quantitative measurements using optical detection and fluorescent labeling In the second half of the term, students work in small groups to design and test a microfluidic device to solve a real-world problem of their choosing. Includes exercises in written and oral communication and team building. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Health-Sciences-and-Technology/HST-410JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Freeman, Dennis Aranyosi, Alexander Gray, Martha 2007-11-26T11:24:07-05:00 HST.410J 6.07J en-US Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences, General plasma bonding coulter counter casting PDMS computer simulation of neural behavior cytometry techniques experimental design cell traps MATLAB data analysis laminar flow models of diffusion microfabrication diffusion osmosis microfluidics cell sorting optical imaging of cells rapid prototyping lithography microchips cell manipulation Health Sciences and Technology MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course introduces the basic driving forces for electric current, fluid flow, and mass transport, plus their application to a variety of biological systems. Basic mathematical and engineering tools will be introduced, in the context of biology and physiology. Various electrokinetic phenomena are also considered as an example of coupled nature of chemical-electro-mechanical driving forces. Applications include transport in biological tissues and across membranes, manipulation of cells and biomolecules, and microfluidics. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Biological-Engineering/20-330JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Han, Jongyoon ("Jay") Manalis, Scott 2007-10-25T12:52:44-04:00 20.330J 6.023J 2.793J en-US Biological Engineering Cell Physiology bioMEMS Van der Waals electro-quasistatics Maxwell's equations molecular biology biology organ tissue viscous flow inviscid flow Zeta potential Debye layer electrokinetics ion transport microfluidics biomolecule cell membrane reaction electrophoresis diffusion electroosmosis hydrodynamic flow Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Science MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
