Research

We design, model, build and apply tools to address complex biochemical and environmental chemical problems. Most of this involves microfluidics, a field that builds the chemical analogues to integrated circuit chips. For example, we have built “lab-on-a-chip” devices to detect antimalarial drug adulteration, measure disease biomarkers in biological fluids, synthesize genes and detect toxins in the environment. Our work is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative.
