Small things
that make big changes
Research at Microchip Biosystems Lab. focuses on development of Lab-on-a-Chip systems that enable unique biological experiments at higher throughput and high accuracy that can then be readily adoptable by the broad bio/medical scientific community.
Current research interests include Liquid-metal based sensors, development and application of microphysiological systems for neuroscience applications (Brain-on-a-Chip), Micro Bio-refinery chips for Bioenergy and Biomass production, high-throughput screening platforms, Point-of-care diagnosis systems, and micro/nano fabrication.
