The Tripathi Lab develops microfluidic technologies that automate and accelerate molecular biology — from single-cell dissociation to sequencing-ready libraries.
Research
What we work on.
biology
Electric-Field Tissue Dissociation
Enzyme-free dissociation that applies tunable oscillating electric fields to release high-yield, viable single cells from intact tissue while preserving native cellular states.
innovation
Lab Automation & Instrumentation
Instruments that close the gaps in walk-away sample prep — including a compact, plug-and-play centrifuge engineered to drop into any liquid-handling robot.
biology
Single-Cell & Multi-Omic Assays
Automated workflows that turn dissociated cells into sequencing-ready libraries — and the assays that quantify how sample prep shapes viability, population representation, and molecular integrity.
biology
Organoid & 3D Culture Development
Reproducible spheroid and organoid models that recreate tissue architecture and disease progression — including endometrial organoids developed with Brown's Desai Lab.
microfluidics
mRNA Vaccines & Lipid Nanoparticles
Microfluidic-electrophoresis assays that flag residual dsRNA impurities in mRNA therapeutics and characterize the size, charge, and loading of lipid-nanoparticle delivery vehicles.
microfluidics
AAV & Gene-Therapy Characterization
Microfluidic electrophoresis that separates full from empty adeno-associated virus capsids and resolves serotype-level differences — quality metrics central to gene-therapy manufacturing.
innovation
Point-of-Care Diagnostics
Low-cost, minimal-equipment diagnostic workflows — dried-blood-spot nucleic-acid extraction, capillary plasma separation, and direct RT-PCR for use far from a central lab.
microfluidics
Liquid Biopsy & Cell-Free DNA
High-purity microfluidic extraction and size-based separation of cell-free DNA from plasma — enabling non-invasive prenatal testing, aneuploidy screening, and emerging liquid-biopsy assays.
