Description

In recent years, microfluidics technology has revolutionized many important biological assays, such as blood tests, cell sorters, and singe-cell measurements. Inside microfluidic devices, fluids are highly predictable and controllable, making them versatile tools for liquid handling. This course aims to provide students with the confidence and know-how to design and use microfluidics devices in biological research. It will also provide an intuitive understanding of how microfluidics work, how they are made, and their applications for bioanalytical assays of biomolecular and cellular systems, including single-cell assays, immunological, and biochemical assays.
