W e can take advantage of the wide electromagnetic spectrum to do wonderful things that are more vital to our lives. For example\, microwave ablation of cancer tumor is already in wide use\, and microwave remote monitoring o f vital signs is becoming more important as the population ages. This talk will focus on a biomedical use of microwave at the single-cell level. At low power\, microwave can readily penetrate a cell membrane to interrogate what is inside a cell\, without cooking it or otherwise hurting it. It is currently the fastest\, most compact\, and least costly way to tell wheth er a cell is alive or dead. On the other hand\, at higher power but lower frequency\, the electromagnetic signal can interact strongly with the cell membrane to drill temporary holes of nanometer size. The nanopores allow drugs to diffuse into the cell and\, based on the reaction of the cell\, i ndividualized medicine can be developed and drug development can be sped u p in general. Conversely\, the nanopores allow strands of DNA molecules to be pulled out of the cell without killing it\, which can speed up genetic engineering. Lastly\, by changing both the power and frequency of the sig nal\, we can have either positive or negative dielectrophoresis effects\, which we have used to coerce a live cell to the examination table of Dr. M icrowave\, then usher it out after examination. These interesting uses of microwave and the resulted fundamental knowledge about biological cells wi ll be explored in the talk.\n\nRoom: Room 15-202\, 15/F\, Bldg: Lau Ming W ai Academic Building\, City University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong\, Hong Kon g\, Hong Kong\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/331969 LOCATION:Room: Room 15-202\, 15/F\, Bldg: Lau Ming Wai Academic Building\, City University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong\, Hong Kong\, Hong Kong\, Virtual : https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/331969 ORGANIZER:alex.mh.wong@cityu.edu.hk SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Seminar:Microwaving a Biological Cell Alive ‒ Label-free Noninvas ive Cell Characterization by Broadband Impedance Spectroscopy URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/331969 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong><span style="color: #34495e\; font -size: 18pt\;">Seminar</span></strong></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 18p t\; color: #3598db\;"><strong>Microwaving a Biological Cell Alive ‒</str ong><strong>Label-free Noninvasive Cell Characterization by Broadband Impe dance Spectroscopy</strong></span></p>\n<p><strong>Professor </strong><str ong>James C.
