Research
The goal of the Abate Lab is to enable biological research through the development of new tools. Our work combines engineering, microfluidics, and computer science and has applications in cell and microbiology, systems and synthetic biology, and human disease.
single-cell analysis
Interrogating the genome, transcriptome, and proteome of single cells using microdroplets
printed droplet microfluidics
Fluorescence-activated printing of cells and reagents in large microdroplet arrays
nucleic acid cytometry
High-throughput sorting and enrichment of DNA sequences in microdroplets
synthetic biology
Sequence-function mapping and genetic screening in droplets
microdroplet modules
Using microdroplets to compartmentalize and manipulate picoliter volumes of biological reagents
bioinformatics
Specialized bioinformatics for barcode deconvolution and de novo genome assembly
