New Frontiers in Human Telemetry

#Brain-Machine #Interface

The development of new fully Integrated and fully implantable electrochemical CMOS-Bio-Sensors is a key factor to provide better, more rationale, effective and ultimately low-cost health care to chronic patients also at home. So far, there are no available integrated nano-bio-systems for remote telemetry of human metabolism. The aim of this talk is to present the most recent results obtained within the frame of the project i-ironIC (a project funded by the NanoTera.ch Program) and provide new and innovative concepts for multi-panel, highly integrated, fully implantable, remotely powered and real-time monitoring systems for the telemetry of human metabolism at molecular level.

Sandro Carrara

Biography:

Sandro Carrara is lecturer and scientist at the EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland). He is former professor of optical and electrical biosensors at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Biophysics (DIBE) of the University of Genoa (Italy) and former professor of nanobiotechnology at the University of Bologna (Italy). He holds a PhD in Biochemistry & Biophysics from University of Padua (Italy) and a Master in Physics from University of Genoa (Italy). He is founder and Editor-in-Chief of the journal BioNanoScience by Springer, Topical Editor of the IEEE Sensors Journal, and Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems. He is an IEEE member for the Circuit and System Society (CASS) and member of the IEEE Sensors Council. He has been appointed as CASS Distinguished Lecturer for the years 2013-2014. His scientific interests are on electrical phenomena of nano-bio-structured films, and include CMOS design of biochips based on proteins and DNA. He has more then 170 scientific publications and 12 patents. He has several Top-25 Hottest-Articles (2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, and two times in 2012) published in highly ranked international journals such as Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Sensors and Actuators B, IEEE Sensors journal, and Thin Solid Films. His work received a NATO Advanced Research Award in 1996 for the original contribution to the physics of single-electron conductivity in nano-particles. From 1997 to 2000, he was a member of an international committee at the ELETTRA Synchrotron in Trieste. From 2000 to 2003, he was scientific leader of a National Research Program (PNR) in the field of Nanobiotechnology. He is now an internationally esteemed expert of the evaluation panel of the Academy of Finland in a research program for the years 2010-2013. He is the General Chairman of the Conference IEEE BioCAS 2014.
