摘要：

     Over the past two decades, microfluidics has evolved from initially a scale-dependent chemical analysis technology towards a versatile platform that opens up new opportunities to addressing the challenges in biology and medicine. In our lab, we are interested in exploiting microfluidic engineering principles to promote quantitative and systems analysis of molecular and cellular events in complex biological systems. In this presentation, I will first discuss the development of high-throughput digital microfluidic technologies that leverage the performance of molecular assays to enable ultrasensitive single molecule/cell analysis. Following that, I will present the results on applying these technologies to sensitive and quantitative analysis of genetic mutations and protein biomarkers associated with cancer. Finally I will share my perspectives on future development of microfluidic technology for quantitative biology and medicine.
