This paper describes a publicly available, open source software framework designed to support research efforts on algorithms and control for digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs), an emerging laboratory-on-a-chip (LoC) technology. The framework consists...

This paper introduces a compiler optimization strategy for Software-Programmable Laboratories-on-a-Chip (SP-LoCs), which miniaturize and automate a wide variety of benchtop laboratory experiments. The compiler targets a specific class of SP-LoCs that...

Microfluidic devices are emerging as an attractive technology for automatically orchestrating the reactions needed in a biological computer. Thousands of microfluidic primitives have already been integrated on a single chip, and recent trends indicate...

Background: Published descriptions of biology protocols are often ambiguous and incomplete, making themdifficult to replicate in other laboratories. However, there is increasing benefit to formalizing the descriptions ofprotocols, as laboratory...

This paper introduces BioScript, a domain-specific language (DSL) for programmable biochemistry which executes on emerging microfluidic platforms. The goal of this research is to provide a simple, intuitive, and type-safe DSL that is accessible to life...

Microfluidic chips fabricated by multilayer soft lithography are emerging as “lab-on-a-chip” systems that can automate biological experiments. As we are able to build more complex microfluidic chips with thousands of components, it becomes possible to...

Advances in high-throughput and multiplexed microfluidics have rewarded biotechnology researchers with vast amounts of data but not necessarily the ability to analyze complex data effectively. Over the past few years, deep artificial neural networks ...

Microfluidic devices promise to automate wetlab procedures by manipulating small chemical or biological samples. This technology comes in many varieties, all of which aim to save time, labor, and supplies by performing lab protocol steps typically done by...
