About the Author Ebrahim Ghafar-Zadeh received BSc. and MSc. in electrical engineering from KNT (1995) and Tehran Universities (1997) Tehran, Iran respectively. In 1997, he joint the department of electrical engineering as a faculty member in SCU university, Ahvaz, Iran, During 2004-2008, he pursued his PhD studies in Ecole polytechnique de Montreal (Montreal, Canada). In 2008, Dr. Ghafar-Zadeh received several postdoctoral fellowship awards including PDF NSERC Canada and PDF FQRNT Quebec allowing him to continue his research in CMOS Biochip design in the departments of electrical engineering and Bioengineerings at McGill University and University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Ghafar-Zadeh is the writer of " CMOS Capacitive sensors for Lab-on-Chip" book published in Springer and until now he has published more than 30 papers in journals conferences. Product Description Biochips incorporate a verity of means including electronic, photonic and microfluidic devices; biological materials (living cells, tissue, enzymes, nucleic acid and etc.) and chemical analysis to produce the detectable signals for identification of biological phenomena. Among several competing biochip technologies, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process offers the advantages of low cost, integrated, high precision and portable techniques suitable for point-of-care diagnostics.Advanced CMOS Biochip takes multi-path approach: microelectronic design and implementation of bio-interfaces offering a vital contemporary view of a wide range of integrated circuits and system for electrical, magnetic, optical and mechanical sensing and actuating blocks and much more; classical knowledge of biology, biochemistry as well as microfluidics. The coverage is both practical and in depth integrating experimental, theoretical and simulation examples. By using Advanced CMOS Biochip, readers will have the fundamentals and design techniques to grasp the situation which arise typically in CMOS biochip devices.
