Cell and TissueEngineering

Neural Engineering• Neural Engineers use modeling and analysis to

understand and control the nervous system.• Advances in neuroscience and microfabrication have

opened the doors to exciting applications in neuroprosthetics, biosensors and hybrid biocomputers.

Fluorescent Stained Myocyte

Microfabrication Surface

Neural Engineering Research at UIC• Sensory Transduction (neural prosthetics)

• Neural Networks (signal analysis, motor control)

• Brain Imaging (fMRI, MEG)

• Artificial Bioelectric Interfaces (implanted cochlea)

• Faculty:

John Hetling, Christopher Comer, Bin He, Arye Nehorai

Synthetic RetinaUnder Development by Optobionics, Inc.

Natural Retina

photoreceptor cells with silicon photodiodes.

Cell and Tissue Engineering• Cell and Tissue Engineering allows one to repair or

replace the function of natural tissue with bioengineered substitutes.

• Principles of engineering, chemistry, and biology are combined to create tissue substitutes from living cells and synthetic materials.

Organogenesis

Tissue Engineering Research at UIC• Cellular encapsulation (pancreatic islet cells)

• Cell mechanobiology (culturing beating cardiac myocytes)

• Surface modification of implants (hip prosthetic)

• Faculty:

Tejal Desai, Susan McCormick, Michael Cho

Luke Hanley, John Marko, Jens Karlsson

Liver Pancreas

Bioinformatics and Genomics• Bioinformatics combines computer science with biomedicine to

develop tools for identifying and understanding the genetic blueprint of life.

• Genome Annotation (DNA sequence identification of genes)• Discover genetic basis for disease (cancer, diabetes)• Develop new diagnostic devices (cDNA chip)

cDNA Array

Bioinformatics and Genomics Research at UIC

• Gene discovery (tumor suppressor gene)

• Functional genomics (protein/substrate binding surface)

• Gene expression/DNA Chips (colon cancer diagnosis)

• Whole genome annotation (tuberculosis bacterium)

• Faculty:

Jie Liang, Simon Kasif, Lon Kauffman, Carol Westbrook
