Micro- and Nanostructures for Studies of Model Biological Systems
Popular Abstract in English Small Devices to Study Small Biology Biological components that are smaller than a cell are difficult to study directly. A great deal of work has been done developing devices and techniques that allow scientists to control and observe sub-cellular biology. In this thesis I, along with my colleagues, have made a number of devices that give us control over the small bioloSub-cellular biological components are complex systems that work together to control and maintain cellular activity and health. It is useful to study the basic elements that constitute the sub-cellular components using model systems, which mimic certain parts of the overall system, in order to better understand the system as a whole. Here we present a number of tools, which enable the study of a f
