Overview

Miniaturization, requiring use of Microfluidics or Lab-on-a-Chip Technology has proven to have specific advantage in expediting early stages of drug discovery process. Extension of bioassay and cell biology possibilities, better separation techniques, relatively accurate modeling of physiological situations and systematic high-volume testing have all turned out to facilitate drug discovery. The use of Robotic fluid handling with micro total analysis systems (µTAS) integrating biomarker technology has brought paradigm shift in disease diagnosis and drug discovery and development processes.

After the first full conference in Bangalore in September 2013, we at SELECTBIO, are delighted to bring together thought leaders in the field of Microfluidics & Lab-on-a-Chip in Mumbai in 2015. The program will consist of moderated sessions and engaging an expert panel on research themes at the core of Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technology.

Agenda Topics:
• Biomedical Applications of Microfluidics/LOAC:
o Biosensors
o Disease Monitoring & Diagnostics
o Genetics, Epigenetics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
• Developments in Materials and Microfabrication Technologies
• Droplet-based Digital Microfluidics
• Optofluidics and Plasmonic Devices
• Organ-on-a-Chip
• Paper-based Devices in the Developing World
• Single Cell Analysis

Keynote Speakers:
- Laura Lechuga, Professor, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)
- Ian Papautsky, Professor/Director, Univeristy of Cincinnati/OCMI

The conference will be co-located with Flow Chemistry India 2015 meetings at the Ramada Powai Hotel & Convention Centre, Mumbai. Registered delegates will have unrestricted access to both the co-located meetings ensuring a comprehensive learning and sharing experience as well as being financially beneficial for attendees.

Running alongside the Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip India conference will be an Exhibition covering the latest technological advances and associated services within these fields.
