A technique called electrophoresis allows scientists to analyze molecules of life by separating them by their electrical charge.

Microfluidic devices are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

They can replace conventional analysis methods with smaller, portable devices with faster analysis times.

It could also help doctors decide which drug is most appropriate for a patient by quickly distinguishing between normal bacteria and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. With further development, the power of electric fields and microfluidics can speed up how researchers detect and fight pathogens. Dr. Lapizco-Encinas ’s research interests are in the multidisciplinary area of microfluidics. Her current research projects deal with the application of dielectrophoresis for the manipulation, concentration and detection of a wide array of bioparticles..
