Abstract

The author presents an overview of various MEMS applications in the biological and medical research field. Specific examples use the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) developed by Texas Instruments. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center develops instrumentation and computational biology tools to exploit the emerging biomedical databases. We apply these tools to problems in biology, genetics, genomics, and medicine. The field of bioMEMS merges biology, physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science and clinical medicine.
