 Dr.
Robin Liu is currently a Manager of Microfluidics Technology at Combimatrix
Corp. His responsibilities involve development of integrated DNA microarray
biochips, microfluidic system for sample preparation and DNA analysis,
and integrated immuno- sensors. Prior to joining Combimatrix, he was a
Manager and Co-founder at Applied NanoBioscience Center, Arizona State
University (ASU) in 2003. He worked on microfluidics, fuel cells, nano-biotechnology,
etc. Prior to joining ASU, he was a Principal Scientist and Group Leader
at Motorola Inc (2000~2003). He worked on integrated microfluidic labchips
and DNA microarray biochips. Dr. Liu was a summer intern at Aclara Biosciences,
Inc. (1999), working on plastic chip microfabrication and integrated sample
prep on a chip.
Dr. Liu received his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000. Dr. Liu is an inventor of 6 US
patents (issued and pending), and the author of 47 scientific publications
and 4 book chapters. He served on the International Steering Committee
of several international conferences, including the 26th Annual International
Conference of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (Track
Chair), 2001 International MEMS Workshop in Singapore, the 2nd Annual
International IEEE Conference on Microtechnology, Medicine, and the 2003
International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies in Singapore.
He received 2 BRAVO awards and 22 Silver Quill Awards from Motorola. He
is currently an Associate Editor for the SPIE Journal of Microlithography,
Microfabrication, and Microsystems.
Integrated Microfluidic Biochips for Immunoassay and DNA Bioassays
Bioassays involve multi-stage sample processing and fluidic handling,
which are generally labor-intensive and time-consuming. Using microfluidic
technology to integrate and automate all these steps in a single chip
device is highly desirable in many practical applications such as clinical
diagnostic and in-field environmental testing. We have recently developed
self-contained and fully integrated microfluidic biochips for immunoassay
and DNA analysis. These microfluidic biochip devices can perform detection
of multiple bioagents (including antigens and DNA) using fluorescent or
electrochemical detection methods. The devices with capabilities of on-chip
sample processing and detection provide a cost-effective solution to direct
sample-to-answer biological analysis.
