Exploring the Future of Science Through “Lab on a Chip” Technology

The Field of Basic Sciences at Galala University (GU), within its Nanoscience and Technology program, organized an insightful webinar titled “Lab on a Chip; Microfluidics and Miniaturizing Science” on Thursday, February 4th, 2021. The session was moderated by Dr. Radwa Abou-Saleh, Program Director of Nanoscience and Technology, and delivered by Dr. Sally Peyman, Academic Fellow at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leeds.

Hosted under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Ashraf Haidar, Acting President of Galala University, Prof. Dr. Tarek Abouelmaaty, Acting Vice President for Students’ Affairs, and Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Shinawi, Acting Vice President for International Affairs, Community Service, and Environmental Development, the webinar came as part of GU’s ongoing series of informative academic sessions that explore cutting-edge scientific advancements through collaboration with local and international partners.

The session shed light on “Lab on a Chip” technology—a revolutionary approach that miniaturizes laboratory processes onto a microchip to enhance efficiency, accuracy, portability, and waste management. Dr. Peyman discussed how microfluidics, the study of fluid behavior at the microscale, forms the scientific foundation of this technology and is transforming modern scientific research.

This engaging session offered valuable insights into the future of scientific experimentation, emphasizing how innovations like “Lab on a Chip” are shaping the next generation of research and diagnostics.
