Tremendous opportunities are associated with shrinking large-scale (laboratory) processes to characteristic volumes of 10nL-100uL and translating them to continuous-flow formats. Applications of microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip technologies include assays for biomolecular detection, platforms for the perfusion culture of cells, organs and organisms, microfluidic bioprinting, and miniature chemical factories and energy conversion. The interdisciplinary course considers the different backgrounds of students and consists of a combination of lectures and project work. Projects will consist of individual and group contributions and involve the design, manufacture, testing, and live demonstration a microfluidic device. Course participants will receive hands-on experience in several current technologies for the processes for the manufacture of microfluidic devices (soft lithography, hot embossing, 3D printing).
