Research Field  

Microfluidics and Analytical Microbiology Applications

Research Interests

Our research spans a broad range of Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Microfluidics. We use microfluidic droplets for high-throughput culturing and screening of single cells in nanoliter to picoliter volumes. We are developing automated workflows and devices for large scale single-cell isolation, cultivation, interaction and sequencing. We want to provide better approaches to improve the cultivation of microbial samples, to isolate and study rare microbes and extremophiles from the environments, to study the diversity, functions and evolution of complex microbial communities, and to advance clinical pathogen diagnosis and biosafety testing. Our current ongoing projects include:

1. Single-cell isolation, cultivation and sorting using high-throughput droplet microfluidic technologies.

2. Single cell whole genome amplification of uncultured microorganisms.

3. Digial Nucleic Acid Amplification and applications.

4. Isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of pathogens in clinical and environmental samples.
