My masters's work concentrates on the development of a portable, easy-to-use microfluidic device/system for the detection of DNA amplification. The system utilizes a well-established plastic microfluidics technology and an agglutination technique whereby microspheres are cross-linked by labelled target DNA. This microfluidic device approach will allow us to eventually develop a pathogen detection system that is handheld, ideally suited for the Point-of-care market, disposable to enable biohazard containment, and inexpensive.
