Microfluidic Biosensors

Wing Cheung Mak received his BSc in chemistry and PhD in bioengineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and became a docent at the Linköping University, Sweden. He has over 20 years of international research experience in Sweden, Singapore, Germany, and Hong Kong focusing on biosensors and materials science. He has expertise in the field of biosensors and bioelectronics, wearable biosensors, lateral-flow membrane-based biosensors, and analytical chemistry and a strong interest in advanced transducer materials and microfluidic design and fabrication strategies to improve biosensor performance. Currently, he is an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has authored over 80 scientific research articles covering the fields of biosensors, bioelectronics, analytical chemistry, materials science, and biomedical engineering. He is actively interested in transferring academic research to industrial applications. He has considerable experience in industrial R&D as a technical manager and entrepreneur of spin-off companies. He is the inventor of several patent families in the field of biosensors and healthcare diagnostics. Professor Ho received his BEng and PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Nottingham. Currently a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, he has over 30 years of research experience in academia and industry. Started as a compound semiconductor material scientist, his current interests focus at nano-sized semiconductor materials for photonic and sensor applications, optical instrumentation, surface plasmon resonance biosensors, lab-on-a-chip and biophotonics. As keen supporter of university-industry collaboration, he has founded of a spin-off company to commercialize phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance biosensors and lab-on-a-disc. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed articles, 33 Chinese and 6 US patents in the field of sensor instrumentation. He is a Fellow of SPIE and HKIE.
