About
Maowei Dou is an innovative analytical chemist and biomedical engineer whose research sits at the intersection of microfluidics, mass spectrometry, and proteomics. His work focuses on developing cutting-edge miniaturized platforms that dramatically improve the sensitivity and spatial resolution of protein analysis in complex biological systems. Dou's landmark 2018 study on spatially resolved proteome mapping using laser capture microdissection coupled with automated nanodroplet sample transfer — garnering 141 citations — demonstrated a transformative approach to characterizing protein expression within tissue sections at unprecedented resolution. His complementary nanodroplet workflows for processing fewer than 100 mammalian cells further pushed the boundaries of low-input proteomics, enabling detailed profiling of rare or precious biological samples. Equally notable is his work in point-of-care diagnostics: his paper/polymer hybrid microfluidic platform for rapid, multiplexed disease biomarker detection earned 129 citations, highlighting his ability to translate advanced microfluidic concepts into practical diagnostic tools. Extending these innovations to single-cell proteomics, Dou has pioneered methods for mapping tissue heterogeneity at the individual cell level, a capability with profound implications for cancer biology and precision medicine. His body of work collectively reflects a commitment to making sophisticated molecular analyses faster, more accessible, and remarkably sensitive.
