Biomolecular Electronics

A Volume in the Micro and Nano Technologies Series.

KEY FEATURES

• Demystifies the science and applications of electrically-driven biological reactions.
• Explains how the techniques of bioelectronics and electrochemistry can be deployed as biological control technologies.
• Provides applications information for diverse areas from bio-fuel cells to electrical control of gene expression levels.

Biomolecular Electronics – encompassing the electrical control of biological phenomena – is a scientific challenge that, once fully realized, will find a wide range of applications from electronics and computing to medicine and theraputic techniques. This new arena of biomolecular electronics is approached using familiar concepts from many areas such as electrochemistry, device electronics and some mechanisms of gene expression level control. Practical techniques are explored by which electrical and electronic means can be used to control biological reactions and processes. Also, the current and future applications for this new and expanding field are discussed.This book is aimed at scientists and engineers involved in both research and commercial applications across fields including bioelectronics, bionanotechnology, electrochemistry and nanomedicine – providing a state-of-the-art survey of what's going on at the boundary between biology and electronic technology at the micro- and nano- scales, along with a suggestive insight into future possible developments.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Paolo Facci is a Senior Scientist of the Italian National Research Council at the Dept. of Physics of the University of Modena, Italy, where he has founded the nanobiolab, an interdisciplinary group active in the field of nanobiophysics.

His current research focus is on biomolecular electronics, membrane biophysics, and biosensors. In 2002 he was awarded "Premio Ugo Campisano" for the Physics of Matter for his achievements in the growth and experimental characterization of organic and biological materials.
