The biomedical sciences industry is a key growth engine for the Singapore economy. Microelectronics provides key and striking opportunities for advancing bio-medical research and creating new markets.

IME is in a position to leverage on its expertise across the entire value chain of microelectronics and also on the collaborations of A*STAR's biomedical research institutes to make intellectual and economic impact in the bioelectronics area. IME's bioelectronics R&D efforts explore the use of CMOS and Si nanotechnology to build nanoscale sensors and "sample to answer" microsystems for biomedical research and applications.

The following applications and associated technologies are currently under pursuit. Several projects with these themes are carried out in collaboration with the academia and industry.
