dc.description	Craig R. Forest is an assistant professor in the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Mechanical Engineering. His lab is the Precision Biosystems Laboratory which combines optics, MEMs, signal processing, machine design, molecular biology, and novel manufacturing techniques to create innovative tools for cutting edge biomedical research and clinical applications
dc.description.abstract	Biotechnology research holds the promise of personalized medicine: Medical treatments based on an individual's genetic makeup. However, the prerequisite exploration of the inner workings of biological systems is in its infancy. The creation and application of instruments which can nimbly load, manipulate, and measure thousands to millions of biological samples simultaneously, more sensitively, more accurately, and more repeatably than current approaches would open the door to essential, comprehensive biological system studies. Our research group strives to develop and utilize such instruments for biomolecular analyses, with focus on genomics applications. The research effort leverage interplay between machine design, signal processing, MEMS, optics, and novel manufacturing technologies for the design of precision biological instruments. simultaneously, more sensitively, more accurately, and more repeatably than current approaches would open the door to essential, comprehensive biological system studies.
