| Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) with the ability to sense electrical features such as voltage and impedance, are interesting tools to investigate some features of biological samples. This project is about the experimental test and measurements of a recently developed multi-modality CMOS MEA, that includes voltage, impedance, and electrochemical recording units. This MEA is integrated in an open microfluidic hanging-drop platform which enables to make and maintain the biological samples, including cardiac and tumor microtissues.
The main part of the project is to perform test experiments, by recording voltage and impedance of microtissues and analyzing the recorded data, in order to validate the functionality of different recording units of the developed CMOS MEA. Microfabrication of the microfluidic device can be also included, based on student’s interest. - Biology, Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Physics

| This project is about the experimental test and measurements of a recently developed multi-modality sensor, which is integrated in an open microfluidic hanging-drop platform. The sensor includes electrophysiology, impedance, and electrochemical recording units. Functionality of different recording units will be validated by using cell and microtissue models. For example, electrophysiology data will be used to follow the beating activity of cardiac microtissues, impedance data will be used for growth profiling and electrochemical data for tracking lactate production of a tumor microtissue. - Biology, Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Physics
