DESCRIPTION:Prof. Beth L. Pruitt\nThe Stanford Microsystems Lab works on c
 ustom measurements and analysis systems for small scale metrologies includ
 ing scanning probe microscopy\, biomechanics and mechanotransduction assay
 s. We study the mechanics and biology of the sense of touch in C. elegans\
 , the mechanisms and forces of cell adhesion\, and the development and res
 ponse of stem cells and cardiac myocytes to mechanical loading. We design 
 and fabricate most of our own tools and sensors and are interested in the 
 reliable manufacture and operation of micromachined sensors and actuators 
 in harsh environments\, measuring nanoscale mechanical behavior\, and the 
 analysis\, design\, and control of integrated electro-mechanical systems. 
 We leverage new tools and answer novel questions in our lab in the areas o
 f physiology\, biology\, stem cells\, neuroscience and cardiology with an 
 eye toward quantitative and fundamental biophysics.
