Research Project
Acoustic trapping arrays for high-throughput and controlled organoid engineering
Organoids are self-assembled 3D multicellular constructs proven to be high-potential models of several organs such as the liver, kidney and gut. By assisting spheroid formation with acoustics in microwell arrays, organoids can be produced in a more consistent manner in parallel. My project explores new methods to fabricate acoustic trapping arrays and new designs to integrate such arrays with microfluidic channels and sensors.
Research Themes
The Biomedical Engineering Division's research is consolidated under four key research themes; precision medicine, sustainability, antimicrobial resistance and data driven life science. My research is focused on precision medicine.
Key Competences
- Microfabrication
- Acoustic trapping
- Additive manufacturing
