Goals and objectives

In the first half of this course, microscale-specific physical and chemical phenomena such as laminar flow, mixing by diffusion, capillary action, electroosmotic are introduced and learn about Poiseuille law to design microfluidic channel network in microfluidic devices. In the last half, you will get knowledge about fabrication processes of microfluidic devices and its latest applications. Through classes, you will also learn the basics of PCR and COVID-19, cancer and its treatments, iPS cells and their applications, and neurological diseases.
