MSAL Research Team Bridging the Gap Between Biology and Microelectronics

MSAL collaborator William Bentley, MSAL director Reza Ghodssi, MSAL collaborator Gregory Payne, along with Assistant Professor Massimiliano Pierobon (University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering), Biotechnology Scientist Jessica Terrell (U.S. Army Research Laboratory), and a team of researchers are working to develop devices capable of facilitating the free exchange of information between the electronic and biological worlds. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded a $1.5 million grant through the Semiconductor Synthetic Biology for Information Processing and Storage Technologies (SemiSynBio) program to support this work.
