The research group at School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Leeds, UK is investigating on Bio-electronics. Their aim is to develop hybrid bio-electronic instruments, where electronics and biology integrate seamlessly with multiplex communication. Head of the bio-nanotechnology research group, Dr Walti says that evolution has given biological systems an excellent ability to precisely detect molecules and react in defined ways. Further he says that many downstream control systems, such as the response to the detection of hormones or other chemicals, share similarities with electronics - feed back loops, cut-offs and even logic gates. Under this investigations key parts of the biological systems e.g. the antibodies, receptors, proteins, nucleotides and etc, , are to be take and coupled with advanced electronic systems capable of making very rapid decisions, display answers, or instigate further processes. This technology would be extremely important in the miniaturisation of diagnostic systems, where present technologies use various chemical reporting methods to identify a biological interaction and other areas such as medical treatment, security, forensics and molecular computing.
