Technical Meeting
Topic: "Digital" Microfluidic Biochips
Date: Tuesday 2006-April-20
Time: 4:00 pm
Location:
Limit: All are welcome
Advances in microfluidics technology offer exciting possibilities in the realm of enzymatic analysis, DNA analysis, proteomic analysis involving proteins and peptides, immuno-assays, implantable drug delivery devices, and environmental toxicity monitoring. This presentation will first present an overview of the droplet-based "digital" microfluidics technology developed at Duke University. A system design methodology that attempts to apply classical synthesis and module placement methods to the design of microfluidics-based biochips will then be presented.
Dr. Chakrabarty is an associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. He has received both the National Science Foundation Early Faculty (CAREER) award and the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator award. His current research projects include: design and testing of system-on-chip integrated circuits; design automation of microfluidics-based biochips; microfluidics-based chip cooling; distributed sensor networks.
