Labs on Chip ─ Principles, Design, and Technology

This book provides a complete reference for the complex field of labs-on-chip for applications in biotechnology. The book presents in an accurate and complete technical form all the elements related to Labs-on-Chip technology and applications so to be useful both for the professional that wants to approach a new field and to the specialist of one particular aspect that wants to gain an overall view. It is based on realistic applications matured in a long work with medical researchers, and includes strong theoretical explanations of design techniques, but not completely separated by technology issues as frequently in theoretical books.

Eugenio Iannone is CEO and founder of Dianax S.R.L., a start-up company operating in the lab-on-chip field. He is an IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society and American Chemical Society member, as well as an author of three books and over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers. After receiving the Italian Laurea degree in engineering (classical version) from Sapienza – Universita di Roma, he served as a researcher at Fondazione Ugo Bordoni, joined Pirelli s.p.a., and subsequently worked at Cisco. Since 2009, his research has focused on labs on chip. In 2011, he founded the Dianax Study Group, dedicated to lab-on-chip research.
