Qiao Lin’s research addresses biological and medical applications of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), with an emphasis on using MEMS and microfluidic technologies to create integrated devices and systems for micro- and nanoscale biological sensing and manipulation. These devices and systems aim to allow sensitive and accurate interrogation of biomolecules and cells in well-controlled micro- and nanoscale environments, thereby enabling, in a manner unattainable with conventional methods, new insights into fundamental biological phenomena as well as innovative capabilities for practical biomedical applications.
