Welcome to the WebPage of the Microscale Bioseparations Laboratory at Tennessee Tech
ABOUT OUR LAB
We are a group of researchers working on separation techniques of nano and microbioparticles, we focus on electrokinetics techniques, such as dielectroforesis, electrophoresis and electroosmosis.
Our main objetive is to develop robust and rapid microfluidic-based techniques to offer an alternative to traditional bench scale separation/purification processes. Our ultimate goal is to contribute the field of lab on a chip, aiming to create portable laboratories.
We work with a wide array of bioparticles: proteins, DNA, virus, bacteria, yeast, microalgae and mammalian cells.
Our students are from the Chemical Engineering Department at Tennessee Tech, Engineering and Biomedical Physics program (PhD and MSc) at CINVESTAV-Monterrey and the PhD program in Biotechnology of Tecnológico
de Monterrey.
Visit our Web page where you will find information about our research projects, publications and the people that make all this possible.
