Description

Methods in Medical Biohybrid Microrobots provides the fundamental framework to design, fabricate and characterize biohybrid microrobots. This book presents frameworks to design motion control systems based on magnetic actuation, introducing noninvasive localization methods and several approaches to biomedical applications of magnetic biohybrid microrobots.

Providing practical and theoretical hints on different aspects of microrobots, from propulsion mode, control mode, to imaging and drug loading, this book will be useful to graduate students, senior undergraduate students, researchers, and professionals in biomedical engineering, as well as medical researchers, providing the technical and experimental know-how for designing, fabricating, and operating biohybrid microrobots.

Key features

  • Presents a cross-over between various disciplines which come together in developing biohybrid microrobots
  • Includes practical highlights from engineering, physics, chemistry, robotics, biology and medicine
  • Fills gaps in literature to provide audiences with a full practical guide for the development and implementation of microrobots from propulsion strategies to control and applications from a biological and technical perspective
  • Helps readers identify bottlenecks in current research to conceive solutions for such challenges

Readership

Graduate students, senior undergraduate students, researchers, and professionals in biomedical engineering

VM

Veronika Magdanz

Veronika Magdanz, born in Rathenow, Germany, in 1985, studied biotechnology at the TU Braunschweig from 2004-2010 and chemical engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada from 2007-2008 as an ISAP exchange student. She received her doctorate in biology in 2016 from TU Dresden after performing pioneering work on biohybrid microrobots at the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences of the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Dresden (IFW). From 2017-2020, she conducted metabolic and kinetic studies on sperm of various species as an Open Topic Postdoc at the Chair of Applied Zoology at the TU Dresden besides continuing her research on sperm-hybrid microrobots. In 2020, she was awarded a Feodor-Lynen Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt foundation to join the Smart nanobiodevices group at IBEC, Barcelona. She is currently La Caixa Junior Leader at IBEC conducting research on various biohybrid and bioinspired robots.
