DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sandro Carrara\nThe Institute of Microengineering is pleas
 ed to invite you to Dr. Sandro Carrara's seminar titled  "Bio/Nano/CMOS in
 terfaces for Remote Monitoring of Human Metabolism"\n\nThis lecture is par
 t of  the Distinguished Lectures Program of the IEEE Sensors Council\n\nOn
  Monday September 30\, 2019\n10:15 – Room SV1717\nVideoconference is org
 anized in Neuchâtel campus\, room MC B0 302\nPossibility to follow the se
 minar by remote via zoom: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/405196262\n\nAbstract:\nT
 he development of circuits and systems as integrated with electrochemical 
 nanobiosensors for the monitoring and diagnosis of patients with specific 
 metabolic conditions (e.g.\, heart failures\, cardiovascular illnesses\, c
 ancer diseases) or convalescents at home is a key factor to succeed in pro
 viding better\, more rationale\, effective\, and ultimately low-cost techn
 ologies for personalized and precision medicine. The development of implan
 table and/or wearable medical-IoT (Internet of Things for medical applicat
 ions) is the right way to bring easy-to-use monitoring devices available t
 o this aim. However\, there are no so-far-available integrated nano-bio-sy
 stems for the continuous and remote monitoring of the human metabolism at 
 multi-metabolites level. In fact\, many IoT systems available in the marke
 t are proposing the use of devices such as accelerometers\, ECG monitors (
 for electrocardiogram monitoring)\, and other sensors that are usually not
  suitable for monitoring the human metabolism at molecular level (e.g.\, t
 o measure cell metabolites). The only implantable or wearable systems avai
 lable for real-time control of the human metabolism are limited to glucose
  monitoring\, while electrochemical sensors may address so many other endo
 genous and exogenous molecules that are of crucial relevance in human meta
 bolism of many diseases as well as in the monitoring of chronic patients o
 r critical patients. Thus\, the aim of this distinguished lecture of the I
 EEE Sensors Council Program is to present innovative concepts for developi
 ng devices for the continuous monitoring of human metabolism at molecular 
 level by using multi-panel\, highly integrated\, fully implantable\, and r
 emotely powered systems. More specifically\, the considered metabolic mole
 cules will be: glucose\, lactate\, glutamate\, and ATP as models of endoge
 nous metabolites\; cyclophosphamide\, benzphetamine\, propofol\, paracetam
 ol\, and midazolam as models of therapeutic compounds\; and potassium as a
  model of metabolic ions. Examples of applications to point-of-care device
 s (e.g.\, for the monitoring in intensive care units [1])\, implantable sy
 stems [2]\, and wearable medical-IoT will be then demonstrated. Future per
 spectives about injectable or diffusible diagnostic devices in the form of
  Smart Dust [3] will be finally discussed as well.\n[1] https://actu.epfl.

 ecipient of the IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award. He is fa
 culty at the EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland)\, and former professor at the 
 Universities of Genoa and Bologna (Italy). He holds a PhD in Biochemistry 
 and Biophysics\, a Master degree in Physics\, and a diploma in Electronics
 . His scientific interests are on electrical phenomena of nano-bio-structu
 red films\, and include CMOS design of biochips based on proteins and DNA.
  Along his carrier\, he published 7 books\, one as author in 2013 with Spr
 inger about Bio/CMOS interfaces and\, more recently\, a Handbook of Bioele
 ctronics with Cambridge University Press. He has more than 270 scientific 
 publications and is author of 14 patents. He is now Editor-in-Chief of the
  IEEE Sensors Journal\, the largest among 180 IEEE publications\, founder 
 and Editor-in-Chief of the journal BioNanoScience by Springer\, and Associ
 ate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems. He is 
 a member of the IEEE Sensors Council\, and was a member of the Board of Go
 vernors (BoG) of the IEEE CAS Society. He has been appointed two times as 
 Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE. His work received several international re
 cognitions as best-cited papers and as best conference papers. He has been
  the General Chairman of the Conference IEEE BioCAS 2014\, a premier world
 wide conference in the area of circuits and systems for biomedical\, and G
 eneral Co-Chair of the Conferences IEEE MeMeA 2018\, the IEEE internationa
 l symposium on medical measurements and applications\, and PRIME 2019\, th
 e conference on PhD research in microelectronics and electronics.\n
