Biography

Dr Chunxiao Hu received a BSc in Automation (China, 2008), his MSc in Microsystem Technology (Southampton, 2009) and his PhD in Microfluidic devices for nematodes (Southampton, 2013). Following completion of his PhD, he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, working on Nanowire/Nanoribbon ISFET for biosensing. From 2016, he moved to the University of Glasgow working as a Research Associate on CMOS based biosensors in the James Watt School of Engineering. He was promoted to Research Fellow in 2021, and now a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Glasgow. 

Research interests

Dr Chunxiao Hu's research focuses on developing miniaturised portable microsystem platforms by using advanced technologies such as microfluidics, nanofabrication, surface functionalization for biomedical applications. Current projects include Highly integrated chemical sensors (electrical and optical) for multiple detection of biomarkers for early cancer diagnostics; CMOS based ISFET for fast antimicrobial susceptibility testing; Wearable biosensor for continuous monitoring of stroke; Microfluidic device for neurodegenerative diseases; Microfluidic device for electrophysiological analysis of drug uptake in nematodes. Below are a few example research topics.
