The Mission of the laboratory for microsystems in biomedical and environmental applications is research, focused on the development of microsensors (chemo resistive and resonant gas sensors), electrodes for biological sensors, microprobes for recording of electrical activity of cells and tissues, microfluidics and integrated technologies (silicon, polymers, biomaterials), education in the field of micro chemo and biosensors (in cooperation with University "Politehnica" of Bucharest), and services in design, simulation and technology for bio- and chemo-applications.
Main expertise: development of a large area of microsensors (chemoresistive, resonant gas sensors, accelerometers, microarrays, ISFET (Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistors) sensors, electrodes for biological sensors, microprobes for recording of electrical activity of cells and tissues), in terms of software simulations / modelling, using MEMS–specific CAD software (CoventorWare, CADENCE), technological development and electrical characterisation. |
Microfluidic platforms simulation and realization including tubes, microfluidic connectors and reservoirs, pumping system and microsensors integration are part of the laboratory expertise. |

The team was working in 20 national projects and seven FP6 projects during the last 5 years, both research projects and support actions. |
