UCI-led NSF center will leverage industry partnerships to improve development of microfluidic devices

Thirteen industry partners gathered recently at UC Irvine’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering for the inaugural meeting of participants in a new National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center. The Center for Advanced Design & Manufacturing of Integrated Microfluidics will create design tools and manufacturing technologies for integrated microfluidics, also known as labs-on-a-chip. The tiny devices can be used for cost-effective, quick and easy diagnosis of problems in the environment, agriculture and human health.
