The Biomicrofluidics Research Group specializes in the design, fluid dynamic modeling, fabrication, and testing of microfluidic devices. In our research and development, we incorporate and advance state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, such as soft lithography, laser cutting, and layer bonding.

Our laboratory takes an interdisciplinary approach - integrating physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering - to provide innovative microfluidic solutions for food safety, biomedical diagnostics, and particle separation.

By leveraging the latest scientific advancements, we aim to make significant contributions to both the scientific community and industry. We are highly committed to disseminating our findings and collaborating closely with industry partners to ensure our research translates quickly into practical, real-world applications.

BiomicrofluidicsWe can develop a Lab-on-a-chip device from a biological protocol to a functional prototype, which can be scaled up for mass production

 

Future research directions, collaboration opportunities: With technology solutions ranging from TRL 1 to TRL 9, we can translate a biological protocol into a functional lab-on-a-chip prototype, which can then be scaled up for mass production.
