Our research employs novel molecular-based methods to investigate biological phenomena related to disease.  Specifically, we engineer integrated micro- and nanofluidic devices to study and manipulate bacteria, viruses, and enzymes at the single cell/molecule level. We are also investigating new ways to characterize these systems by exploiting interesting physical properties that manifest themselves at the nano scale.

8/15: The Goluch Group has received its first federal grant! The NSF has funded our proposal entitled "BRIGE: Microfabricated bacterial environments with integrated nanofluidic electrochemical sensors for systems biology applications." We will use this funding to develop a system that electrochemically detects molecules excreted by individual bacterial cells, which are involved in cellular communication, and to develop modules with teachers that will introduce students to the microscopic world and encourage them to pursue degrees in STEM fields. More information can be found here.

8/3: Thanks to Jungbin and Aditya for their hard work in the lab during the last 6 weeks as part of the Northeastern University Young Scholars Program!

7/29: The Goluch Group provided a demonstration about the chemical engineering profession for several high school students as part of the National Urban League Youth STEM Summit. Click here for the Northeastern News clip.

6/14: Congratulations to Jorel for receiving a Provost Undergraduate Research Award to fund your project!

5/20: Building Bridges Outreach Program. 20 high school students came to learn about chemical engineering. Some pictures can be found here.

5/5: We are part of a team lead by April Gu that received funding for a Northeastern University Tier 1 Interdisciplinary Seed Project entitled Water Quality Improvement: Self-Powered Hydrogen Production, Donor Delivery and Monitoring System for Bio-Remediation.

3/12: Congratulations to Anthony on receiving a Provost Undergraduate Research Award!
