CFDRC develops application-specific microfluidic biochips or BioMEMS for diverse applications e.g.:

1. drug discovery and development (spanning the “omic” disciplines) : genomics, proteomics, cell-based assays
2. point-of-care and environmental biodiagnostics/biosensors
3. drug delivery and medical microdevices
4. renewable, miniaturized energy sources (biofuel cells)

We begin the process by working with the client to determine product requirements. As a unique hallmark of our process, state-of-the-art, proprietary computational drug design tools guide the conception, screening and optimization of designs seeking to maximize performance.

Downselected concepts are fabricated at our or partner facilities. Prototypes are extensively tested and characterized at our microfluidic laboratory facilities.
