A limited virtual seminar series on microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems
The goal of the series is to share exciting development and to build community in microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip systems and related fields. Topics cover fundamental physics and chemistry, design and prototyping, and translational applications. We are excited about the overwhelming support to continue the series for the second round!
