Research and development in life sciences domain brings every day many innovations. Some of them have been enabled (or improved) by the micro-electronics. Several examples are described in this paper. A big challenge in the design of such systems is that the biological part cannot be uncoupled from the rest of the system during the design process. The integration of biological parts in system's design...
Lab-on-chips (LOCs) are small systems, which integrate, in the same device, several functions involving chemical analysis with bio-processing functionalities typically performed in a laboratory. As a consequence, it is a multi-domain system that can be described and designed with VHDL-AMS, a hardware description language that natively supports electronics, thermics and fluidics. On the other hand,...
We recently demonstrated that it is possible to model and to simulate biological functions using hardware description languages (and associated simulators) traditionally used for micro-electronics. The main drawback of these languages is that they do not support partial differential equations. However, for several applications in biology, space-dependent quantities are unavoidable. This paper deals...
