About Us

We are a non-profit organization that works to promote the development of microfluidics for use in developing countries.  We believe that developments in "microfluidics" and related "lab-on-a-chip" technologies will be central to developing useful point-of-care diagnostics for the medical community.  Many current developments, however, focus on use in high-income settings.  We provide a resource for anyone interested in developing, deploying, and promoting microfluidics for developing countries.  (Click on the buttons on the left.)  A tremendous effort will be needed in the next 5 to 10 years to make this goal a success, and numerous important efforts are already under way.  The information on our website ranges from an introduction to microfluidics for the general public, to specific references for further information for specialists.
