Chemical/Biochemical Microsensor Science

Ongoing
The objective of our program is the development of advanced sensing concepts and components aimed at overcoming performance shortfalls in existing technology. Sensing observed in nature and biological systems serves as a difficult-to-emulate inspiration to our studies. Research efforts have involved
Microfluidic diffusive chemostat

Measurements for minimal cells

Ongoing
Minimal cells are cells whose genome has been stripped of all but those genes essential for replication, in a process called "genome minimization." NIST and collaborators demonstrated genome minimization coupled to single cell imaging as a powerful approach to investigate the minimal genetic

Microfluidic Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Ongoing
Liposomes have found many applications, including targeted drug delivery, immunoassay amplification, and medical imaging. For targeted drug delivery and medical imaging applications, the microfluidic-synthesis method could allow the synthesis of liposomes at the point of care, so that problems with
