Future markets for biomedical microdevices for human genome studies, drug discovery and delivery in the pharmaceutical industry, clinical diagnostics, and analytical chemistry are enormous (tens of billions of U.S. dollars).In the following sections, major bioMEMS applications and microfluidics relevant to bioMEMS applications are briefly introduced. Because of the very large volume of publications on this subject, only selected papers or review articles are referenced in this entry.
