This, in turn, can help reduce the total time and cost of new drug development, which can otherwise take up to 15 years and cost an average of $3 billion. The reuse of the biosensor was achieved by microfabricating a 3-D integrated electronic microplate platform using through-silicon-vias (TSVs) and flexible interconnects that enabled high-density electrical interconnections between cells and the biosensor while circumventing the need of directly growing cells onto the biosensor. This work was enabled by a seedling grant from the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EZia\u0026#39;s coauthors on the paper are his Ph.D. advisor and ECE Professor Muhannad Bakir;
