Introduction to Microfluidics Course

Introduction to Microfluidics Technology is a hands-on laboratory course sponsored by the National Science Foundation’s Bioinspired Soft Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Brandeis. This one-week course takes place during the summer and is intended for graduate students, post-docs, faculty and industrial scientists/engineers interested in utilizing microfluidic technology in their work, both in the physical and life sciences.

Additional information regarding dates, registration, fees, location and housing will be available in early 2020, several months ahead of the next course.

“This week-long course introduced us to both classical microfluidics techniques that are routinely used in labs and some more advanced ones. More importantly, our instructors dedicated important time to discuss our personal projects with us.”
