A major focus of our lab is engineering innovation for analysis of complex biological systems -- as is required to address questions important to both fundamental biological systems and applied clinical research. We employ a combination of approaches drawn from chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering with strong foundations in biology, materials science, and analytical chemistry. This includes understanding the scale-dependent phenomena underpinning technology development, and applying this to develop tools for biomarker analysis as well as clinical/point-of-care diagnostics.
