DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jean-Pierre Leburton\, University of Illinois at Urbana-
 Champaign\, Urbana\, IL (USA)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMINARAbstract:\nIn this ta
 lk I will review some basic properties of cell biology\, and present a sce
 nario that integrates biology with MOS nano-electronics for genomics and b
 io-medical applications. This scenario involves probing the electrical act
 ivity of biomolecules passing through a nanopore\, in a semiconductor memb
 rane. Among solid-state porous membranes the use of the single-atom thickn
 ess of graphene or novel 2D materials like MoS2 are ideally suited for DNA
 \, RNA or proteins sensing as they can scan molecules passing through a na
 nopore at high resolution.  Additionally\, unlike most biological membran
 es\, these new materials are electrically active\, which can be exploited 
 to manipulate in addition to sense biomolecules. We will describe a membra
 ne designed as a quantum point contact FET as a viable device for electron
 ically and optically sensing bio-molecules for applications in genomics an
 d cancer detection.Bio:\nDr. Leburton joined the University of Illinois in
  1981 from Germany\, where he worked as a research scientist with the Siem
 ens A.G. Research Laboratory in Munich. In 1992\, he held the Hitachi LTD 
 Chair on Quantum Materials at the University of Tokyo\, and was a Visiting
  Professor in the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Lausanne\, Switzerland 
 in 2000. He is involved with research in nanostructures modeling and in qu
 antum device simulation. His present research interest encompasses non-lin
 ear transport in quantum wires and carbon nanotubes\, and molecular and bi
 o-nanoelectronics\nProfessor Leburton is author and co-author of more than
  300 technical papers in international journals and books\, and served in 
 numerous conferences committees. In 1993 he was awarded the title of “Ch
 evalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Academiques “ by the French Government
 . He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (
 IEEE)\, the American Physical Society (APS)\, the Optical Society of Ameri
 ca (OSA)\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)\
 , the Electrochemical Society (ECS) and the Institute of Physics (IOP). He
  is also a member of the New York Academy of Science. In 2004 he was the r
 ecipient of the ISCS Quantum Device Award\, and of the Gold medal for scie
 ntific achievement by the Alumnus association of the University of Liege\,
  Belgium. He is a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Nanotechnology Counc
 il. In 2011 he was elected to Royal Academy of Sciences of Belgium.
