We have made continued efforts to advance the technology of ‘Lab on a CD’, a simple rotating platform for executing fluidic analysis. We have made original contributions in generating controlled bubbles, droplets, and serpentine threads by simply tweaking the rotational hydrodynamics of a CD platform. Our group has been the first to realize microbubble generation and manipulation on a CD. We have also reported haemoglobin content modulated deformation dynamics of red blood cells on a CD. Our contributions on CD-based low-cost medical diagnostics are expected to revolutionize rapid, portable, accurate, and inexpensive medical diagnostics which will change the face of healthcare altogether. We have been putting our continuous efforts to realize extreme point of care diagnostic devises by applying fundamental principles of thermal-fluid sciences. This includes appropriate design of diagnostic devices that can appropriately function under extreme challenging conditions of temperature and humidity.
