Lab-on-chip
devices have wide application in bio-technology. Our group is
interested in designing and optimizing of fluidics processes
in micro-scale complex systems. The research includes
designing optimal geometry for desired application by
micro-mixing, electrophoresis, two-phase flows, magnetic
field, chemical properties. Currently we are working in
cooperation with industry on optimizing lab-on-chip geometry
for DNA analysis tool.

Designed
nano-materials can have desirable properties, which can be
very precise controlled. In our group we are manly interested
in bio-degradable materials, which can be applied for
drug-delivery systems. We are optimizing methods to obtain
nano-fibers by electrospinning. This work is done with
collaborations with medical scientists and textile industry.
In our lab we are also interested in design of nano-materials
by the self-organization process. This allows to obtain
complex micro scale structures form basis nano-scale elements.

Bio-modelling
involves development of new mathematical models for biological
processes as well as meso-scale physical simulations of
bio-processes. One of the issue of interests revolves around
creating models for gene expression. Another issue is related
to drug delivery systems: models and simulations for drug
diffusion and drug-cell transport |
Mesoscale
modelling is very powerful tool to enhance design of micro-
and nano-scale devices. Meso-scale model can be either hybrid
combination of various scales models or fully mesoscale
generalization. In our lab we are interested in designing fast
and accurate mesoscale simulation techniques, which combine
try to derive needed model from all possible scales:
continuum, micro, molecular and quantum mechanical. This is
achieved by molecular dynamics and dissipative particle
dynamics simulations. |
