Siddharth Krishnan
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, and by courtesy, of Bioengineering and of Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Krishnan Lab develops bioelectronic devices, tools and systems for closed loop disease management. Our work is divided into the following broad areas:
1. Biohybrid electronics for therapy and sensing: we combine living cells as functional parts of implantable devices, leveraging their ability to produce complex biologic therapeutics in a constitutive or triggerable manner, and their ability to sense their complex dynamic environment. These efforts are focused on developed functional cures for diseases like Type I Diabetes and other conditions requiring the regular infusion of proteins, peptides or antibody drugs.
2. Digital drug release systems for particulate forms of biologic drugs: Many complex protein and peptide drugs are not stable in solution, thereby frustrating the ability to delivery them through pumps and autoinjectors. This need is particularly acute for drugs that need to be administered as emergency rescue therapies, such as glucagon in the context of type 1 Diabetes. We develop implantable, miniaturized microelectromechanical devices that can store particulate (powders, pills) forms of these drugs and release them in a close loop manner based on wireless inputs from sensors.
3. Wearable sensors: Wearables to detect biophysical (temperature, flow, cardiac activity) and biochemical markers of health are gaining importance for closed-loop disease management and personalized medicine. We design hardware for on-chip molecular profiling based on sampling biofluids in noninvasive or minimally invasive formats.
4. New wireless power architectures for implantable bioelectronics: We develop high-power, high-efficiency strongly coupled power harvesting system to power battery-free implant systems.
