About

Maria Borissova is a pioneering researcher in the fields of microfluidics, bioanalytical chemistry, and plant metabolomics. Her work focuses on developing innovative, low-cost platforms for rapid chemical analysis, with major contributions in paper-based microzone assays and electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) droplet manipulation. Borissova’s 2013 paper on automatic spot preparation and image processing for paper microzone-based assays—cited 26 times—introduced a streamlined method for analyzing bioactive compounds in plant extracts, enabling high-throughput screening with minimal resources. Her 2011 study on EWOD actuation of droplets for off-line mass spectrometric analysis, with 22 citations, advanced the integration of digital microfluidics with sensitive detection techniques, allowing precise handling of capillary electrophoretic zones. These works have significantly impacted the development of portable, point-of-care diagnostic tools and sustainable analytical methods for natural product research. Borissova’s achievements include bridging the gap between complex laboratory instrumentation and field-deployable assays, making her a key figure in democratizing chemical analysis for resource-limited settings.
