Research |
| Our research focuses on optical biosensors, micro/nanodevices, and surface engineering of cell-material interactions. See the overview page for a description of the research areas, funding, collaborators, and student participation along with details on past and current projects. A complete list of publications, including links to published articles, is also available. |
Classes |
Dr. McShane has taught courses in the general areas of biomedical instrumentation, optics, and biomaterials. Fall 2009 Course: BMEN 486/686: Biomedical Nanotechnology Introduction to applications of nanotechnology to biomedicine; survey of current research and development of medical devices and novel nanomaterials for medical applications. Concepts of scale and unique properties at the nanoscale; nanofabrication techniques; characterization of nanoscale structures; nanomaterials as sensors, diagnostic tools, drug delivery systems, and therapeutic devices; biocompatibility of nanomaterials; interactions of cells and biological molecules with nanostructured surfaces; hybrid biomaterials.
