Droplet optofluidics as an application tool for biology and interface sciences
Zain Hayat, Bruno Le Pioufle and Abdel el Abed
Ecole Normale Superieure Paris-Saclay, France
Fluids in a controlled environment can perform operations
that mimic the cellular and intra-cellular affairs. Such fluidic
control at submicron scale is best provided by science of
microfluidics where the platforms developed till date proved
their significance in mimicking the organ structure. Often,
manipulations of such tiny volumes of fluid are assisted by light
and exploits their interaction to create “digital” micro-systems
with highly significant scientific and technological interests in
many areas such as single-cell studies, selected targeting, drug
release and genetic sequencing. As greater aspect of technology
design and application in biology, advancements of lab-on-chip
technologies to artificially grow lung, heart and kidney models
as well as insights on arteries and veins performance, that
buildup those sophisticated organs had presented the potential
of this science for diagnostics and drug delivery. Recent
trends in the vary science are to understand what happens at
cellular level when those diagnosis are performed and then
observing those tests in real time. Biomimetic membranes
standout as a remarkable tool to perform those tests in live
feed while being a fragile structure often perish before the
test completion. To tackle this issue a prospect is to develop
lab-on-chip microfluidics droplet interface bilayer platform for
stable biomimetic membrane generation. Soft lithography as
a hardware realization tool is employed not only to develop a
microdroplet generation accessory but also to interact those
microdroplets by amultilayered geometry. This stability concern
leads to successful imaging of membrane characteristics
and opening new dimensions for modern medicine.
Speaker Biography
Zain Hayat is currently pursuing PhD at the Ecole Normale Superieure Paris-Saclay, France.
His research focuses on the design of new optofluidic systems for droplet content analysis.
Currently he is developing a highly sensitive optofluidic platform to study the dynamics
and electro-optical properties of droplets interfaces and droplet-interface-bilayers (DIBs).
