Coulter Distinguished Chair Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interest is broadly in biomolecular engineering and nanotechnology. John McDonald is taking an integrated systems approach to the study of cancer. This means that he views cancer not as a defect in any particular gene or protein, but as a de-regulated cellular/ inter-cellular process. Mostafa El-Sayed is the Julius Brown Chair and Regents Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Tech. He researches Nanoscience and also investigates how Nanoparticles can be used in Nanomedicine, Nano Catalysis, and Nanophotonics. <br/> <br/>Description: 2009 Spring Meeting of the NANOFANS Forum.

Based on measured short-term frequency stabilities of 1.1 10^-8 in air and 2.3 10^-6 in water, mass detection limits in the low femtogram and sub-picogram, respectively, are achieved. In a biosensing application, biomolecules are immobilized on the resonator surface. Upon selective binding of analyte molecules (e.g. via antibody-antigen binding), the mass of the resonator is increased, resulting in a measurable decrease of its resonance frequency. The feasibility of liquid-phase biosensing using the disk resonators is demonstrated experimentally by detecting anti-beta-galactosidase antibody using covalently immobilized beta-galactosidase enzyme. <br/> <br/>Description: Presented on October 10, 2008 from 11am-2pm at the Microelectronics Research Center building on the Georgia Tech campus; This talk was part of the fall 2008 meeting of the NANOFANS Forum: Bridging Biology and Nanotechnology http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/26205 Title: Clues from Digital Radio Regarding Biomolecular Recognition <br/> <br/>Authors: Hunt, William D. <br/> <br/>Description: Presented on October 10, 2008 from 11am-2pm at the Microelectronics Research Center building on the Georgia Tech campus; This talk was part of the fall 2008 meeting of the NANOFANS Forum: Bridging Biology and Nanotechnology http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/22426 Title: Analyzing Biological Cells with Micro/Nano Engineered Systems <br/> <br/>Authors: Frazier, Bruno <br/> <br/>Description: Presented on March 14, 2008 between 11 am - 2 pm at the Microelectronics Research Center building on the Georgia Tech campus; Dr. Bruno Frazier is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech.
