Description
What is it about?
Microfluidics or BioMEMS is the science and engineering subject for the development of miniaturized devices functioning as an improved alternative to current research, diagnosis, and synthesis methods.
This course is for understanding the basic concepts, fabrication techniques, and general concepts of applications of this technology. Be prepared to learn premium knowledge before starting your new academic projects or start-up prototypes.
What is included?
The first section introduces the basic nomenclature and the reason why it is called chips. It is not necessary to have electronic components but it is a functional tiny device.
The following sections give detailed information on the chips' design, simulation, and fabrication. Besides theoretical explanations, practical lectures and assignments are also provided for a complete experience of this technology.
The last section covers and summarizes what is going on in the world about this technology, how to meet collaborations, and who gives service for the fabrication of the custom chip designs.
By the end of this course;
The students will have enough confidence and knowledge to start their projects and research. Students will be able to develop and adopt lab-on-a-chip technology and design their devices and sensors. The potential of applications is endless, especially in the next 10 years we expect not to see experimental tubes anymore.
Who this course is for:
- College and Grad students who are looking for better research positions
- Entrepreneurs who are looking for solutions for their product ideas
- Academicians who are looking for new project ideas

I have a bachelor's degree from Molecular Biology Department and have completed a Master of Science in Biotechnology about miRNA expression in cancer tissues.
I have a PhD degree with a thesis on the subject of "Photobiomodulation therapy possibilities on cancer in vitro".
At the same time since 2011, I have been working in the Biotech field using microfluidics lab-on-a-chip technology and developing sensors, organ-on-a-chip platforms, nano/micro-particle synthesis flow reactors and any device making science miniaturized.
