"Extreme" Microfluidics: Large-volumes and Complex Fluids

Abstract

Mehmet Toner is the Helen Andrus Benedict Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard Medical School, and Harvard - MIT Health Sciences & Technology. Here he describes his labs efforts to advance the field of microfluidics to process large-volumes of fluids. Although somewhat counterintuitive, this approach has found a broad interest in both academia and industry at an unprecedented rate due to its broad range of utility in medical and industrial applications.
