DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker:Krishnendu Chakrabarty\, the John Cocke Distingui
 shed Professor and Department Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering
  (ECE) and Professor of Computer Science\, IEEE/ACM Fellow\, Duke Universi
 ty\n\nPresenting:Quo Vadis Digital Microfluidic Biochips? From Laboratory 
 Research to Commercialization and Beyond\n\nVenue:Online\n\nWhen:Oct. 29th
 7-8 pm\n\nAbstract:\n\nDigital microfluidics was transitioned to the marke
 tplace for sample preparation by Illumina a few years ago. Since then\, th
 is technology has also been deployed by Genmark for infectious disease tes
 ting and Baebies for the detection of lysosomal enzymes in newborns. This 
 lecture will describe the journey from early laboratory research\, PhD the
 ses and publication of research articles\, to technology transfer and lice
 nsing to companies. Today’s microfluidic biochips are fully automated un
 der program control and they can be dynamically reconfigured using sensor 
 data. However\, despite these success stories\, there still remains a gap 
 between microfluidics research and its adoption in microbiology. The prese
 nter will describe how this gap can potentially be closed with new directi
 ons in digital microfluidics\, including recent advances in using micro-el
 ectrode-dot arrays and acoustofluidics.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Michael Bates\
