• Have developed viscoelastic techniques for cell manipulation and have applied them to extract plasma from blood with purity of as high as 99.9% (Lab on a Chip, 2016, 16(20): 3919-3928). This work has attracted international interest due to its potential in cancer diagnostics and prognosis, as evidenced by reports of my discovery by international media outlets in 2017:
