The future of biosensing: A trailblazing project with HP
Doctoral students Jacob Dawes and Debbie Chou, under the guidance of Associate Professor Matt Johnston (left), test a setup to measure small particles as they pass through a microfluidic flow cell. These beads serve as cell surrogates, but the target application is for cell counting — or flow cytometry — a commonly used tool in bio labs and for medical tests. The goal is to develop a smaller, much more integrated cell counting system using custom integrated circuits.
