I work with Koby Nahmias and Raymond Chung to study ways to selectively express genes in hepatitis C virus-infected hepatocytes. The ability to express genes in virus-infected hepatocytes will have broad impact on our understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease. |

I
am investigating inertial focusing dynamics in high throughput micro- and nanofluidic systems. Furthermore, I am developing devices that utilize the fluid phenomena for the improvement of bodily fluid processing as well as cancer detection and staging. |
