Research Area

Our research seeks to bring novel lab-on-a-chip techniques to biology. We fabricate glass chips integrated with valves, pumps, cell retention devices or gas exchange devices to create special micro environments which involved in researches on animal cells, plant cells or even algae cells. Cells on chips with their gas or chemical micro environment or any stimuli precisely controlled, an ideal “Human-Cell-Conversation” style experiment could be realized.
