Curiosity, Creativity & Critical Thinking
Research lab is an incubator, which provides right set of conditions that allow students to follow their curiosity, develop critical thinking, and produce creative works. |
Who we are? We are a diverse group of six and our past and current members came from Bangladesh, China, Iran, Pakistan, Nigeria, and USA.
What do we do?
- Develop Electrochemical Biosensors for Neurodegenerative Biomarkers.
- Develop Microfluidic Micromachines by Desktop Printers for Biosensing and Bionalaytical Applications.
- Characterize Biophysical Properties of Trinucleoitde Repeat Sequences in DNA and RNA.

LATEST NEWS
- January 2020: Ahmad Qamar published an article 'Desktop Fabrication of Lab-on-Chip Devices on Flexible Substrates: A Brief Review" in Micromachines. https://doi.org/10.3390/mi11020126. Congrats Dr. Qamar!
- December 2019: Ahmad Qamar will start his new Postdoctoral Position at Old Dominion University from January 2020.
Congrats Dr. Qamar!
- December 2019: Ahmad Qamar published his work 'Characterization and Application of Fluidic Properties of Trinucleotide Repeat Sequences by Wax-on-Plastic Microfluidics' in Journal of Materials Chemistry B (RSC) DOI:10.1039/C9TB02208B
Congratulations Ahmad!
- August 22, 2019: Motahareh Taki published her M.S. paper 'Novel probes for label-free detection of neurodegenerative GGGGCC repeats associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis' in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (Springer-Verlag) https://rdcu.be/bPgtF
Congratulations Moti!
- August 14, 2019: MEB lab Received NSF $$$.......our proposal entitled "Novel probes for label-free detection of neurodegenerative DNA repeats" has received NSF funding. The funds will help develop biosensors to detect more than two dozen neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's disease, Fredrich Ataxia, ALS etc.
- May 7, 2019: Ahmad Qamar published his second paper 'Evolution of wax‑on‑plastic microfluidics for sub‑microliter flow dynamics and its application in distance‑based assay' in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics (Springer Nature) https://rdcu.be/bBGF2
Congratulations Ahmad!
- April 16, 2019: Sensen Chen (M.S. 2017) published her thesis research in Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing) https://rdcu.be/bxaIn. Many Congratulations!
