Nuclear Structure and Function Research Group

Overview
We are developing simple ways of doing microfluidics that we hope will transform
the way small volumes are handled, especially in biology – 'Freestyle Fluidics' for
flowing applications, and 'GRIDs' (analogs of microtiter plates) for static ones (overview).
Links to YouTube movies are included here.

Freestyle Fluidics (overview)
