Research Description Fundamental and applied biology and medicine are under intensifying pressure to
address increasingly hard problems by relatively low-throughput labor-intensive means
in an environment of rising costs and mounting technical complexity. Such pressures
naturally create a strong demand for inexpensive, technically sophisticated, highthroughput, organizationally simple, decentralized solutions. It is exactly such solutions that elastomer microfluidics offers to provide by means of its exquisite capability for
complex fluidic control and function at the microscale. We are witnessing a crucial point
in time as this new technology has matured morphologically and functionally, while its
expansion into truly impactful applications has just begun. As a result, the major interest of my research lab is the development of microfluidic applications in biotechnology, biomedical diagnostics, and fundamental biomedical science. This interdisciplinary effort is projected by combining fabrication facilities and nanotechnology expertise at Caltech with research facilities and biomedical expertise at
the Keck School of Medicine. Therefore the resulting environment is ideal for MD/PhD
students who would like to expand their technical horizons towards nanotechnology and biomedical diagnostic techniques and devices.
