DESCRIPTION:Paper\, as a ubiquitous material in everyday life\, has been re
 invented into low-cost yet effective microfluidic platforms for bioanalysi
 s. In this talk\, I will present our research on developing new types of p
 aper-based microfluidic platforms for point-of-care diagnosis outside clin
 ical laboratories\, which are particularly useful for healthcare practices
  in resource-limited and/or remote settings (e.g.\, in the North). The res
 earch has been focused on designing new paper devices\, investigating adva
 nced detection mechanisms\, integrating functional biosensing (nano)materi
 als\, and optimizing analytical performance. These efforts have enabled un
 ique features of the developed diagnostic platforms\, including low materi
 al and manufacturing costs\, superior analytical performance\, simplified 
 device operation\, and excellent user-friendliness. The paper-based platfo
 rms I will discuss include: (i) an electrochemical biosensor array for mul
 tiplexed diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C v
 irus (HCV) co-infection\; (ii) a zinc oxide nanowire (ZnO NW) biosensor fo
 r ultrasensitive detection of glucose and HIV protein biomarkers\; and (ii
 i) a shape memory polymer (SMP) actuated microfluidic platform for autonom
 ous immunoassays. In closing\, our ongoing efforts on clinical sample test
 ing of these platforms in Canada and Kenya will also be briefly outlined.\

 (ZnO NW) biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of glucose and HIV protein
