Dr. Hang Lu is a Professor and holds the Cecil J. 'Pete' Silas Chair in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the intersection of engineering and biology, specifically through the development of microfluidic devices and BioMEMS (Bio Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems). He investigates significant biological questions by creating miniaturized Lab-on-a-chip tools that allow for the study of biology in ways that conventional methods cannot. By applying these technologies, Dr. Lu explores complex biological systems, particularly in the fields of neuroscience, cancer biology, and systems biology. His work often employs large-scale experimentation and automation to enhance the understanding of how genetic and environmental factors influence behaviors in both model organisms and human health. He aims to harness engineering approaches to uncover insights into the mechanisms of diseases and develop novel therapeutic strategies. Dr. Lu's efforts contribute to the advancement of biotechnology and the application of micro-devices for various biomedical applications.
