Innovator Bio

The Bioanalytical Lab for Integrated Sensor Systems (BLISS) is a research group at Colorado State University that focuses on developing analytical devices integrating microelectronics, microfluidics, chemistry, and biology to address pressing challenges in medicine and global health. BLISS works jointly with a number of other research laboratories in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, School of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Biomedical Sciences, and Department of Chemistry, to engage in multidisciplinary research activities to bring new diagnostic and medical instrumentation technologies to the field. The interdisciplinary research activities include design and manufacturing of integrated circuits and integrated fluidic devices, device surface preparation, and test and characterization of devices in a variety of application settings. Specifically, research interests of the lab lie in the areas of large scale integrated systems for high density and high performance sensing and computation systems, analog and digital circuit design and low power implementations for biomedical applications, biosensors, and microfluidic devices.
