Bioelectronics is a rich field of research involving the application of
electronics engineering principles to biology, medicine, and the health
sciences. With its interdisciplinary nature, bioelectronics spans
state-of-the-art research at the interface between the life sciences,
engineering and physical sciences.
Introductory Bioelectronics offers a concise overview of the field and
teaches the fundamentals of biochemical, biophysical, electrical, and
physiological concepts relevant to bioelectronics. It is the first book
to bring together these various topics, and to explain the basic theory
and practical applications at an introductory level.
The authors describe and contextualise the science by examining recent
research and commercial applications. They also cover the design methods
and forms of instrumentation that are required in the application of
bioelectronics technology. The result is a unique book with the
following key features:
- an interdisciplinary approach, which develops theory through practical
examples and clinical applications, and delivers the necessary
biological knowledge from an electronic engineer's perspective
- a problem section in each chapter that readers can use for
self-assessment, with model answers given at the end of the book along
with references to key scientific publications
- discussions of new developments in the bioelectronics and biosensors
fields, such as microfluidic devices and nanotechnology
Supplying the tools to succeed, this text is the best resource for
engineering and physical sciences students in bioelectronics, biomedical
engineering and micro/nano-engineering. Not only that, it is also a
resource for researchers without formal training in biology, who are
entering PhD programmes or working on industrial projects in these
areas.
