About
Dr. Xianqiang Mi is a leading innovator in microfluidics and laboratory automation, whose work bridges the critical gap between macro-scale robotics and micro-scale fluid handling. His most impactful contribution is the development of the "Microfluidic Cap-to-Dispense (μCD)" system, a universal microfluidic–robotic interface that enables automated, pipette-free, high-precision liquid handling. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2019 paper (26 citations), solves a long-standing bottleneck in lab automation by eliminating the need for traditional pipettes, allowing robots to directly interface with microfluidic chips. By creating this world-to-chip interface, Dr. Mi has opened new possibilities for high-throughput screening, drug discovery, and diagnostic applications, where precise, low-volume liquid handling is essential. His work not only advances the field of microfluidics but also pushes the boundaries of what is achievable in automated laboratories, making complex, delicate operations more accessible and reproducible. Dr. Mi’s research continues to inspire new generations of engineers and scientists working to integrate robotics with micro-scale biological and chemical processes.
