Research Interests
The "lab-on-a-chip" concept of miniaturizing and integrating different laboratory processes takes advantage of controlled fluid flow behavior on small scales, allows reduced reagent consumption and automation. The Guenther Research Group at the University of Toronto draws from the areas of fluid mechanics, colloidal material synthesis, as well as micro/nanofabrication. We investigate fundamentals of transport processes associated with micro/nanoscale flows and aim at translating these fundamentals into powerful technical solutions.
We are particularly interested in realizing dynamically changing microenvironments for applications in materials science and biomedicine. Current applications include (1) the controlled preparation of organized colloidal and bulk materials, (2) high-throughput platforms for microvascular research and biopharmaceutical drug discovery, and (3) microfluidic strategies for probing complex cellular decision processes.
