Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US with 2.4 million deaths. Coronary heart disease (CHD) affects approximately 16 million people with an expected ~ 700,000 new cases of coronary attack in 2007. Early intervention, by monitoring cardiac biomarkers at point-of-care (POC)using “smart” lab-on-a-chips (LOC) has been considered as one of the most effective tools to minimize CHD related deaths. A new lab-on-a-tube (LOT), that is capable of continuously monitoring multiple physiological and metabolic parameters as well as draining CSF in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, is also suited for better monitoring the TBI patients.
In this presentation, an overview of the development of the smart and disposable plastic lab-on-a-chip/tube integrated with biosensors/immunosensors for blood/CSF sampling and analysis will also be presented, discussing the relevant microfluidics, biosensors, and BioMEMS issues to the point-of-care testing for the emergency care or clinical diagnostics. In addition, the multidisciplinary efforts taken for the
development of the personal heath care system using BioMEMS and lab-on-a-chip/tube technologies will be described for showing how an electrical/biomedical engineer was able to adjust to the new medical diagnostic areas.

Professor Ahn is the Director of the Center for BioMEMS and Nanobiosyetms and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Departments at the University of Cincinnati. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Electrical
Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993. Prior to joining the University of Cincinnati, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, NY, USA.
Professor Ahn is a fellow of the Institute of Physics and currently serving as an Editor of the IEEE/ASME Journal of MEMS (JMEMS) and is a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering (JMM) and Journal of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, and served for the Editorial Boards of the IEEE Sensors Journal and Small. He is now a Fellow at the Institute of Physics. In 2004, he founded Siloam Biosciences Inc. in Cincinnati to commercialize LOC diagnostic devices.
