About this position
The National University of Singapore is seeking a Research Fellow in Microfluidics to join an interdisciplinary biomedical engineering team at the Kent Ridge Campus. The project focuses on developing a passive microfluidic plasma separator device for point-of-care biomedical diagnostics.
The successful researcher will design, prototype, and optimize integrated microfluidic platforms that separate plasma efficiently for delivery to electrochemical sensors. The work will involve micro/nanofabrication, passive flow control, membrane integration, device validation, and quantitative assessment of separation time, yield, cell carryover, and robustness under physiological and environmental conditions.
The role also includes developing reproducible fabrication workflows, design documentation, and standardized testing protocols to support scalable prototyping and design transfer. The researcher will plan experiments, analyse device-performance data, and contribute to integrated systems for disease-focused applications, including cardiovascular disease.
Working across biomedical engineering, biosensing, and clinical research, the fellow will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and clinicians to integrate microfluidic chips with complementary electrochemical biosensing technologies. Responsibilities also include preparing research publications, technical reports, and conference presentations while following developments in microfluidics, diagnostics, and biomedical engineering.
