University of Iowa Microfabrication Facility Open House Workshop - Microfluidic Chip for Bio-Medical Applicatons:  The advances in micro- and nano-fabrication technologies are expected to open up new possibilities and applications in medical diagnostics, therapy, drug delivery and regenerative medicine, in particular, enabled by microfluidic chip technologies.

 Participants will:

• Fabricate and Test a Microfluidic Chip and Take it home.

• Obtain Hands-on time on Nanofabrication Tools in dust-free labs.

• See in action the manufacturing technologies involved in the next generation of nano-devices, from DNA sequencing and Cancer detection chips to LED devices, Solar cells, and Smart phones.
