Multiplexed protein detection using antibody-conjugated microbead arrays assembled on a microfabricated electrophoretic device

Barbee K.D., Hsiao A.P., Roller E.E., Huang X., UCSD, US

We report the development of a microfabricated electrophoretic device for assembling high-density arrays of antibody-conjugated microbeads for chip-based protein detection. The device consists of a flow cell formed between a gold-coated silicon chip with an [...]

Differential Cytotoxicity of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Chen J., Zhu J., Cho H.-H., Cui K., Li F., Zhou X., Rogers J.T., Wong S.T.C., Huang X., Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, US

There are growing concerns among the general public and regulators about their potential health hazard. To determine the potentially toxic responses of CNS due to exposure of metal oxide nanoparticles, human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma and H4 [...]

Applications of Parameterized Computation in Computational Biology

Huang X., Arkansas State University, US

According to the theory of NP-completeness, many problems that have important real-world applications in life science are NP-hard. This excludes the possibility of solving them in polynomial time unless P=NP. A number of approaches have [...]

Numerical Simulation of Pulse-Width-Modulated Micropumps with Diffuser/Nozzle Elements

Nguyen N-T., Huang X., Nanyang Technological University, SG

This paper presents the numerical simulation of a new control method for dynamic micropumps with diffuser/nozzle elements: the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) of the drive signal. A piezo disk with a square wave signal actuates the pump, [...]
