Â鶹´«Ã½

Our lab at Â鶹´«Ã½ works to develop micro/nanoscale systems to address challenging needs in biomedical engineering. In the long term, we seek to understand the physical phenomena in micro/nanoscale and exploit the benefits of microfluidic/MEMS devices integrating these phenomena that can lead to biological and chemical discoveries.

In particular, our current research focuses on developing affordable, rapid, and sensitive point-of-care diagnostic platforms for resource-limited settings. To this end, we have developed paper/polymer-based microfluidic devices for applications in environmental monitoring and biosensors. Major technologies include microfabrication, nucleic acid detection, electrochemistry, and electrophoresis.

Student researchers at Â鶹´«Ã½

Student researchers in the Department of Bioengineering at Â鶹´«Ã½ are all undergraduate and master’s students. We routinely present the results of our research at national and international conferences and by publication in the scientific literature.

If you are a student interested in getting involved in research in our lab, please contact Dr. Kim directly for more information.
