About
Sami Kanderian is a biomedical engineer whose work bridges microfluidics, genetic analysis, and neuromuscular assessment. His most impactful contribution, the 2015 paper "Automated Microfluidic Platform for Serial Polymerase Chain Reaction and High-Resolution Melting Analysis" (13 citations), describes the development of an integrated genetic analyzer. By combining microfluidic rapid PCR with high-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) on a single cartridge, and automating the process with a robotic pipettor, Kanderian created a platform capable of rapid, serial human sample testing—a significant step toward point-of-care genetic diagnostics. Earlier, his 2011 work on "A Portable Device for Quantification of Forearm Muscle Tone" (2 citations) addressed the clinical need for objective, quantitative assessment of spasticity in upper motor neuron disorders. By designing a device to measure velocity-dependent hypertonia, he provided a tool to better evaluate therapeutic interventions. Though his citation counts are modest, Kanderian’s research demonstrates a clear focus on translating complex physiological and molecular measurements into practical, automated devices, showcasing an engineering-driven approach to solving real-world clinical challenges in both genetics and neurology.
