The Biomedical Microsystems Group
Our mission is to foster the development of new and novel microsystems by leveraging world-class fabrication and integration technologies against extant and emerging applications in biomedical engineering. Formed in October of 2001 and stemming from the growing expertise in biomedical engineering within the University of Calgarys Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the group seeks to exploit nascent enabling technologies in order to further established goals in a broad range of research areas.
The group draws members from a wide variety of academic disciplines, including electrical and mechanical engineering, chemistry, and medicine to name but a few. By bringing together researchers from such diverse backgrounds, the group is able to rapidly identify and develop opportunities to bring new microsystem technologies to bear on a wide range of biomedical applications.
Three initial projects have emerged from the early efforts of the group:
- Gastrointestinal Microstimulator
- Lab-on-Chip Lexel Array
- Electronic Mosquito Microneedles
