Applied Physics at the micrometer scale – harnessing magnetic attraction and repulsion forces in lab-on-a-chip

Abstract:

Our research centres on the design, fabrication and study of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices applied to environmental analysis, biomedical research and the synthesis of smart materials. Fluid handling at the microfluidic scale offer precise spatial and temporal control over experimental conditions at the size scale of cells and biomolecules. In our research group, we are employing magnetic forces to manipulate objects such as cells, particles and droplets inside microfluidic chips for applications in bioanalysis.
