Dear LabNetwork Members --
The NNUN (National Nanofabrication Users' Network) announces
BioMEMS '98, a one-day symposium, to be held on Saturday,
October 17, 1998, in San Francisco. This is a joint effort being
sponsored by the Dept. of Biopharmaceutical Sciences at UCSF
and the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility, with contributing
participation from UC Berkeley. Our goal is to introduce
microfabrication tools to biologists, chemists and other researchers
who are unfamiliar with these techniques. Professor Greg Kovacs
of the Stanford Electrical Engineering Dept. will be teaching the
intro course on microfabrication. Starting with the basic processes
like thin film deposition, lithography, and etching, he will show how
to use these tools to design and build a microtransducer.
In the afternoon, there will be a series of seminars on various
applications of microfab tools to biological problems. Our afternoon
speakers are Rich Mathies, Michael Heller, and Andy Ewing on
DNA and analysis chips, Dorian Liepmann and Juan Santiago on
microfluidic dynamics, Dave Borkholder on neural chips, and
Milan Mrksich on micropatterning. We hope that this program
will be of interest not only to novices in the field, but biochip
researchers wanting a broader background in the engineering
aspects of this field. Our web site can be found at:

We hope that you will be able to join us in this event.
Thank you for your attention,
Mary
