Professor Di Carlo
Dr. Dino Di Carlo is a world-renowned UCLA professor, inventor, and serial entrepreneur who has made key innovations in biotechnology. He has co-founded 5 startup companies across diagnostic, medical device, and therapeutic industries.
Recently, he recognized a gap in the ability to widely deliver breakthrough therapeutics and diagnostics due to current specialized technologies requiring entirely new and costly infrastructure. To address this barrier, he is leveraging the ability to control fluids and chemistry precisely at the microscale level in order to develop low cost reagent platforms compatible with an installed base of instruments already present in laboratories around the world, thus placing all of the assay complexity into a self-contained smart "lab-on-a-particle."
