The past two decades have seen rapid development of micro-/nanotechnologies with the integration of chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemistry, and life sciences to form bio-MEMS or lab-on-chip devices that help us perform cellular analysis in a complex micro-/nanoflluidic environment with minimum sample consumption and have potential biomedical applications. To date, few books... Read more

Biography

Tuhin S. Santra is assistant professor at the Department of Engineering Design, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, and also a tenure track visiting professor at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, since 2018. He obtained his PhD in bio-NEMS from National Tsing Hua University in 2013. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, from 2015 to 2016 and visiting professor at the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2019. He is also a Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance fellow and serves as a guest editor for many journals, such as Cells and the International Journal of Molecular Science. Dr. Santra has edited five books, and his main research areas include bio-MEMS and bio-NEMS, single-cell analysis, biomedical micro-/nanodevices, cell chips, and nanomedicine.

"Due to the multidisciplinary nature of microfluidics and bio-microelectromechanical systems (bio-MEMS), it is challenging to handle this topic. Instead of trying to fully cover the field of microfluidics, this book focuses on several interesting directions with in-depth analysis and discussion. I strongly recommend this book for graduate-level courses where students with a preliminary background of bio-MEMS can utilize it to conduct case studies to deepen their understanding and enrich their experience of microfluidics."

Prof. Jian ChenChinese Academy of Sciences, China

"Dr. Santra’s book on microfluidics and bio-MEMS gives a basic introduction to bio-MEMS and covers a wide range of applications. It is illustrated with over 180 figures and describes key concepts intuitively. Major studies published in the 2010s can be grasped concisely."
