Research

We focus on using microfluidic technologies to develop tools for studying tiny samples, ranging from single cells to droplets of blood. Projects in our group range from developing new electrochemical sensors and assays for diagnostics to developing systems for biomedical research.

What if you could shrink down the laboratory to something the size of a credit card or smaller?

Diagnostics

We use microfluidic technology to develop new tools for diagnostics, whether at the point-of-need or within a clinical laboratory.

Semi-quantitative rapid test for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies

Tools for biomedical research

We build tools to help answer questions in biomedical research, like how do electric fields affect cells?

Cytometry system for live-cell imaging in combination with electroporation

Electrochemical detection of droplets

Droplet microfluidcs shrinks the lab down even further, to droplets as small as picolitres in volume. We explore methods and applications for electrochemical sensing in droplet microfluidics.

Electrochemical detection in droplets is a burgeoning field with many possibilities
