Topic: Electrical characterization and manipulation of biological materials
Electrical phenomena are very closely linked to all functions of life. This not only affects electrical signaling between cells but also transport phenomena and organization at the cellular and organ level. It is therefore logical that important properties of cells and tissues can be electrically monitored or manipulated.
In the lecture, the electrical properties of biological materials are outlined based on their structure and described using electrical elements such as resistors, capacitors, memristors and current sources. The effects of pulsed electrical fields on the cellular structure and thus on the electrical material properties are discussed as well.
In addition, both the classic and advanced methods for electrical characterization based on impedance measurement are presented. The main focus is on fast, parallel implementation with minimal hardware effort. The current developments will be presented using examples.
