Microfluidics has many potential applications among which the most exciting are in the areas of medical and environmental diagnostics, assays for drug discovery, and in construction of artificial organs. This research program is aimed at using microfluidic and microfabrication technologies to develop environmental sensors to monitor water quality in remote areas, medical sensors to assess severity of sepsis for patients in the intensive care unit, assays using organisms such as worms and flies to understand disease mechanisms and develop new drugs, as well as artificial organ constructs to assist with oxygenation of blood.

微流体技术有许多潜在的应用，其中最令人兴奋的是在医疗和环境诊断，药物发现的测定和人工器官的构建领域。该研究计划旨在利用微流体和微制造技术开发环境传感器，以监测偏远地区的水质，医疗传感器，以评估重症监护病房患者败血症的严重程度，使用蠕虫和苍蝇等生物体进行分析，以了解疾病机制并开发新药，以及人工器官结构，以协助血液的氧合。
