大家好, 由於本週六學校Dudley House場地無法使用,
週六鄭兆珉博士的演講改於Jefferson Hall Room 256 進行.
Jefferson Hall是物理系的建築, 地點在Science Center的北邊,

Title: Tools for Biology

Speaker: 鄭兆珉Chao-Min Cheng CCB Postdoc
Place: * Jefferson Hall Room 256
Time: Sat. 9/19 4-5pm

Abstract
The link between mechanics and biochemistry has been implicated in a
myriad of scientific and medical problems, from orthopedics and
cardiovascular medicine, to cell motility and division, to signal
transduction and gene expression. Most of these studies have been
focused on organ-level issues, yet cellular and molecular research has
become essential over the last decade in this field thanks to the
revolutionary developments in microelectronics, genetics,
biotechnology, and information technology. Herein, I will present some
of our previous works with micro- and nano-technology development and
how they are being used to probe scientific questions related to
cellular and molecular structure. In addition, I will also introduce
some projects that we are working on in the Whitesides group, which
are developing paper diagnostics systems for developing countries.
