The conference brings together scientists, engineers and clinicians to discuss and advance cutting edge knowledge of microfluidics. Microfluidics are small scale systems that could be used to diagnose disease, enable unique physical and biological experiments and create new materials. The goal of the 2017 meeting is to bridge the gap between scientists and engineers focused on fundamentals and those translating fundamental work into new applications. The conference is sure to spark animated discussion, new interactions and fruitful collaborations!

The conference will consist of 9 topical sessions and active poster sessions. The conference will be held in conjunction with an associated GRS. We will also host a "Power Hour", committed to inclusion and the professional development of women in science. This program was created to help address the challenges that women face in science and provides a forum for discussion and mentoring.
