A Roadmap for Cyber Secure Biological Systems
This website is dedicated to documenting peer-reviewed published work in microfluidics, engineered biology, and electronics, particularly in their applications across healthcare, environmental monitoring, remediation, and agriculture. Our objective is to curate a comprehensive collection of research papers showcasing engineered systems that use these technologies in practical combinations and have been physically built, tested, and measured. In addition, we will provide the latest developments, roadmaps, technical insights, and emerging trends at the intersection of these dynamic fields.
To assist us in maintaining an up-to-date paper collection, kindly contribute your papers in the fields of microfluidics, engineered biology, and electronics using our submission form.
Pure-engineered biological systems use precisely engineered biological components, such as microbes, mammalian cells, or cell-free systems, to perform specific functions through controlled gene expression, without integrating non-biological technologies.
Hybrid-engineered biological systems combine biological components with non-biological technologies like microfluidics, electronics, and nanomaterials to enhance performance, enable real-time monitoring, and improve functionalities for various applications.
