Scope:

This symposium aims to bring together scientists, engineers and educators to share their latest research in lab-on-a-chip technologies and applications in biology, chemistry, materials and engineering. It has three sessions (1) Lab on a chip/microfluidics for biology, (2) Microfluidics for sensing and diagnostics (3) Microfabrication and device development and (4) Microfluidics for chemistry and materials development.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

• DNA, protein and cell analysis
• Next generation sequencing
• Organ on a chip and disease modelling
• Sample preprocessing/concentration
• Microflows & nanoflows and control techniques
• Device integration,
• Detection techniques,
• Chem.- and bio-reactor,
• Material synthesis and analysis,
• Other application of lab on a chip techniques.
