Hands-on Workshop

in Nanobiotechnology


Feb 20-24, 2012

Brought to you by David Juncker Group, McGill University

 
 

  1. •To explain the potential and limits of microfabrication, soft lithography and microfluidics in a hands-on, practical way.

  2. •To break the barriers that so far may have prevented the adoption of micro- and nanotechnologies by participants for their own research.

  3. •To raise the awareness of the McGill Nanotools Microfab Clean Room, of its capabilities and its availability to the entire community.

 

Objectives

  1. •Learn about micro and nanofabrication technologies and soft lithography.

  2. •Pattern proteins at sub-micron resolution onto surfaces by microcontact printing.

  3. •Use a variety of microfluidic devices and explore microfluidic phenomena, including mixing, gradient generation and immunoassays.

  4. •Listen to a lecture from Prof Andre Levchenko from John Hopkins University that will showcase exciting research in the in the field of Micro and NanoBiotechnologies.

  1. •Scientists and Engineers in any area of research who would like to learn more about micro and nanofabrication and about micro and nanoscience and technology in general.

  2. •The hands-on examples of the course are in the areas of soft lithography and microfluidics and should be of particular interest to biomedical researchers, chemists, physicists, and as well as biomedical, mechanical, chemical, and materials engineers.
