Microfluidics, or Lab-on-a-Chip, is the science and technology that manipulates and analyzes fluids at sub-millimetre dimensions. It has been considered as the key enabling technology for many emerging applications, especially in the fields of biology, medicine, chemistry, and environmental sensing. With microfluidic technologies, researchers can manipulate and probe individual cells, and can precisely control their microenvironments, leading to new questions and new discoveries.
This course aims at introducing students to the cutting-edge concepts of microfluidics and the opportunities and challenges for manipulating biological matters and chemicals at the micro-scale. The student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- Understand and explain the fundamental principles of microfluidics technologies and their applications in diverse biological and single-cell analysis.
- Design and implement microfluidic systems by different microfabrication technologies, such as soft lithography and 3D printing using proper materials.
- Design and implement single-cell sequencing and on-chip cell culture experiments.
- Evaluate strengths and limitations of various microfluidics technologies.
- Recognize emerging trends and advancements in microfluidics for biological analysis.
This course will start from 6th May at 8:10 am.
