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.
