SFB 563:  Bioorganic functionnal systems on solids

Subject Area Physics
Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science, Systems and Electrical Engineering
Term from 2000 to 2007
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5484320
 
This research initiative is aimed at a basic understanding of theinteraction between living biological systems (cells or cell models) and anorganic solid state substrates (metals, semiconductors, insulators) in the frame of a concerted interdisciplinary effort. The most important research goals are a successful bio-functionalisation of solid surfaces, the detailed spectroscopic characterization of interactions between biosystems and their substrates, as well as the experimental realization of bioelectronic hybrid systems, e.g. living cells communicating with "intelligent" substrates. In order to reach these goals, new highly specific as well as externally manipulatable functionalization schemes will be developed, optimized and characterized, both, structurally and electronically. The long-term goal of this project is a better understanding of basic questions concerning the fundamental and applied aspects of the adhesion of living cells on and their electronic communication with solid state substrates, with possible applications in the area of biosensors or bioelectronics.
