Title: Graphene transistors for cellular interfaces and electrophysiological recording
Speaker: Prof. Ying Fang, National Center for Nanoscience and Technology
Chair: Prof. Tianzi Jiang, Brainnetome Center, CASIA
Time: 9:00-10:00 April 15, 2015
Venue: The 1st meeting room, 3rd floor of the Intelligence Building
Advances in nanomaterials and nanotechnologies offer important opportunities for cellular interfaces. In this presentation, I will give an overview of our recent progress by using graphene as active elements of bioelectronic devices. I will begin with a brief description of signal transduction mechanism at device-cell interfaces and then explain the challenges of currently available techniques. Next, our recent progress on graphene-based bioelectronic devices will be described, with a particular emphasis on their applications in electrophysiological recording. Lastly, I will discuss the sensitivity limit and scaling of graphene-based bioelectronic devices.
