Abstract:

Molecular communication (MC) engineering is an emerging field inspired by the ubiquitous use of chemical signals in cell biology as information carriers. The field integrates communications theory, signal processing, and biophysics to model fluid signal propagation as an interface with living cells. Molecular communication is a promising methodology for interdisciplinary applications requiring communication between cells and with other microscale devices. This seminar will introduce the field of MC, summarize our contributions, and share our on-going work to apply MC techniques to practical biological systems with collaborators in biology, medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry.
