BIOENGINEERING INSIGHTS 2009

UC Santa Barbara prides itself on strong interactive research efforts that focus on materials and computational research in biology, engineering, chemistry and physics. The depth and strength of UC Santa Barbara’s bioengineering achievements have led to the genesis of a Bioengineering effort which ranked 2nd in the nation in Faculty Scholarly Productivity by the Chronicle of Higher Education in 2007.

At Bioengineering Insights 2009, our faculty and collaborators will showcase the science and technology at UC Santa Barbara that is making a major global impact. Register Here

SEMINAR: Three-Dimensional Photonic Band Gap Crystals from Biological Systems
May 14, 2009
4:00pm/refreshments at 3:45pm
1302 Marine Science Research Building

The strikingly colorful world of insects is in large part the result of optical interference produced by the interaction of light with precisely ordered, periodic cuticular structures, incorporated into their exoskeletons. Such structural colors have recently gained tremendous interest for the use as photonic band gap crystals with enormous potential for next-generation energy and information technology concepts.

Classic aptamers were invented in 1989-1990. In the next twenty years the process of identifying aptamers was improved substantially - today non-classic aptamers (called SLaptamers) make possible some applications that cannot be achieved with monoclonal antibodies (or other antibody mimics).
