Biochip Computation –A Humongous Innovation
Abstract
The invention of biochips is a big drive of the rapidly growing biotechnology industry, which comprises a very assorted range of research efforts including genomics, proteomics, and pharmaceuticals, among other activities. Advances in these areas are giving scientists new methods for unveiling the complex biochemical processes occurring inside cells, with the larger goal of understanding and treating human diseases. At the same time, the semiconductor industry has been steadily perfecting the science of micro-miniaturization. The combining of these two fields in recent years has enabled biotechnologists to begin packing their primitive bulky sensing tools into smaller and slighter spaces i.e. so called biochips. These chips are essentially miniaturized laboratories that can perform hundreds or thousands of simultaneous biochemical reactions. These paper insights on how biochips enable researchers to quickly screen large numbers of biological analytes for a variety of purposes, from disease diagnosis to detection of bioterrorism agents.
