Microfluidics, Soft Matter and Biochemistry

Dr. Jean-Christophe Baret

Droplet-based microfluidics provides a wide range of tools usable for the high-throughput manipulation of droplets in microchannels. These tools are used in the context of quantitative biology for the analysis and selection of single objects (cells, DNA, enzymes...) at very high throughput. The technology is further developed in a Synthetic Biology approach through the functionalisation of the droplets in order to build up artificial functional units mimicking cells that could ultimately be designed on demand.
