Cornell Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory
The Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory, directed by Professor Brian Kirby, is a research group in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University devoted to research on understanding and application of micro- and nanofluidic systems. Micro-and Nanofluidics describe fluidic regimes defined by the length scale of the flow channels, the techniques for making the devices, and the dominant physics.

Stress-strain curve of tissue-engineered scaffolds used for seeding chondrocytes. We are designing biomaterials with controlled material properties so as to enable studies of mechanotransduction in chondrocytes during physiological loading.
Structure of native lysozyme, perhaps the most-studied protein in refolding and aggregation studies. We are developing microdevices to study protein refolding for pharmaceutical applications.
