Our Research Themes (연구주제)
Our lab is mainly interested in (1) a microfluidic/nanofluidic device,
virtually a network of micro/nanoscale fluidic components, and (2) application of microfluidic
and nanofluidic device to analyze biomolecules such as proteins, peptide, RNA, and DNA, which are crucial in assessing physiological state of a human.
We are also working on (3) individual microscale fluidic components including
a micropump, microvalve, micromixer, and microscale dialyzer, (4)
novel microfabrication techniques such as micro 3D printing, laser machining, and hot embossing for plastic-based microfluidic/nanofluidic devices. Lastly, we are keen to explore
(5) interesting micro/nanoscale physicochemical phenomena that are not observable in conventional macroscale fluidic systems including electrokinetics and microscale heat transfer.
Ultimately, we are pursuing microanalytical systems or lab-on-a-chip (LOC) that can
determine clinically and biologically essential biomolecules accurately,
rapidly, and reliably - so that they can replace bulky, expensive, material-consuming,
but essential analytical instruments in research or clinical laboratory.
우리 연구실은 (1) 마이크로스케일의 유체기계 네트워크로 구성된 미소유체/나노유체 디바이스의 설계 및 제작, (2) 사람의 건강상태를 진단할 수 있는 단백질, 펩티드, DNA, RNA 등 생체분자를 분석하는데 있어서 미소유체/나노유체 디바이스의 응용분야,
(3) 마이크로 펌프, 마이크로 밸브, 마이크로믹서, 마이크로투석기 등 다양한 마이크로스케일의 유체기계의 설계 및 제작, (4) 3D 프린팅, 레이저머시닝, 핫임보싱과 같은 플라스틱 기반의 첨단 마이크로가공기술에 주로 관심을 가지고 다양한 연구를 수행하고
있습니다. 또한 일반적인 스케일에서는 관찰할 수 없으나 마이크로스케일에서 관찰가능한 물리화학적 현상 예를 들어 전현상, 마이크로열전달 현상 등에 대한 연구도 같이 수행하고 있습니다. 궁극적으로는 이러한 요소기술을 기반으로 의학적으로 혹은 생물학적으로 중요한 생체분자를 정확, 신속, 안정적으로 검출할 수 있는 마이크로 스케일의 분석기기, 즉 랩온어칩(LOC)을 개발하여
현재 의학, 생물학, 약학, 생화학 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되는 고가의 부피가 크고 많은 시료를 소비하는 기존의 분석장비를 대체하고자 합니다.
