Department(s)/lab(s): Chemistry and Chemical Biology | Whitesides Research Group @ Harvard
Summary:

Whitesides' group pioneered soft lithography and paper-based microfluidics, and has long applied these tools to low-cost point-of-care diagnostic biosensors for global health settings. Included as a borderline, not-preferred biosensing case: the sensing target (colorimetric/electrochemical assays) is compelling but device-fabrication-centric rather than a cutting-edge-sensitivity physical sensor.
