Application Of Semiconductors For Life Sciences And Health

Semiconductors have significant applications in the field of life sciences and health, extending beyond traditional biomedical devices.

Our group's approach starts with developing a deep understanding of physiological or biological processes, which leads to new insights on how to address the challenges in life science and health with electronic circuits and systems. We have been exploring the application of the circuits and systems in various areas, including smart farming, ingestible electronics, implants, medical imaging, and other emerging technologies. Our focus is on enabling new applications and on dramatically lowering the energy consumption for existing ones.

To achieve this, we collaborate with a number of groups on the MIT campus, from the brainstorming phase to the implementation and experimentation, to ensure that our technology is both effective and practical. Our work aims to advance the field of electronic circuits and systems, contributing to improved health outcomes, a better understanding of biological processes, and ultimately, improving the quality of life for people worldwide.
