The Exeter Microfluidics Network

The Exeter Microfluidics Network is a group of cutting-edge researchers using microfluidics for addressing fundamental biological questions and improving global health and wellbeing.

Microfluidics is the manipulation and control of small volumes of liquid (typically less than a few microlitres) and allows the precise control of biomedical samples from individual cells to whole tissues. By allowing real-time, continuous measurements and manipulation at the level of individual cells, and by facilitating automation, high throughput screening and multiplexing, microfluidics has the potential to revolutionise future healthcare technologies by addressing grand challenges from drug discovery to diagnosis to novel treatments.
