BEL is rooted in Engineering and Physics and is performing interdisciplinary research and education relevant to biology and medicine.

Our research thrusts include the development and application of microsensor, microfluidic, and microelectronic technologies to address questions in biology and medicine with applications in the fields of systems biology, drug testing, personalized medicine, and neuroscience.

Our group has longstanding experience in the development of CMOS-technology-based (CMOS: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) biomicrosystems and microelectrode arrays. Moreover, we are engaged in the development of microfluidic organ-on-chip systems recapitulating 3D tissue environments and physiological barrier systems.
