Abstract:
Microfluidics is the platform technology that has a potential to impact several fields including chemistry, biology and medicine. The vision of miniaturizing a laboratory into a device in the size of a computer chip has been receiving significant interests from both academia and industries. Potential applications of the portable, miniaturized devices include point-of-care testing (e.g., in emergency rooms), environmental monitoring, and detection of biowarfare agents in the field. In this presentation, a brief review will be given on the concept of microfluidics, device fabrication, and fluid manipulation in mcroscale, followed by discussion on their various applications including tumor cell isolation, high-throughput protein synthesis, and two-dimensional protein separation.
Biography:
Dr. Z. Hugh Fan is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida. Prior to joining UF in 2003, Dr. Fan was a Principal Scientist at ACLARA BioSciences Inc. (Mountain View, CA) from 2000 to 2003 and a Member of the Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corp. (Princeton, NJ) from1995 to 2000. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Ames Laboratory of the US Department of Energy at Iowa State University in 1994. Dr. Fan received his B.Sc. from Yangzhou Teachers\' College in China and his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta in Canada. His research interests include microfluidics, BioMEMS (Biomedical MicroElectroMechanical Systems), sensors, cancer diagnostics, and bioengineering. Dr. Fan\'s research has been funded by US National Institute of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), Army Research Office, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and other agencies. He has authored over 50 journal articles that have been cited for more than 3700 times. Dr. Fan is the recipient of Career Award from US National Institute of Health in 2011, Fraunhofer-Bessel Award from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany) in 2010 and of E. T. S. Walton Award from Science Foundation Ireland in 2009.
