Rashid Bashir is the dean of the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Previously, he was the executive associate dean and the chief diversity officer of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine and the head of the College of Engineering’s bioengineering department.
Dean Bashir will be discussing his work in microfluidics and Lab-on-Chip technology, specifically in detecting T cells for diagnostics of HIV/AIDs, development of a Complete Blood Count analysis on a chip, use of nanopore sensors for detection of DNA and the quest towards DNA sequencing, and the use of crumpled and bent 2D graphene-based sensors for sensitive detection of nucleic acid molecules. These technologies also have implications for advancing personalized medicine for sepsis, cancer, and other diseases.
