DESCRIPTION:Microscale structures provide convenient platforms for biomedi
 cal imaging and sensing using optics. This seminar will describe platforms
  that we are developing that span from basic research to patient monitorin
 g. We have combined quantum dots with microspheres to enhance AFM-based bi
 o-mechanical studies. The system utilizes near-field optical phenomena to 
 study dynamics at the cell surface. We are also exploring the use of funct
 ionalized red blood cells as a blood analyte sensing platform. The red blo
 od cells are functionalized with optically active sensors and can be inter
 rogated through the skin.\n\n
