University of Southern California
Noah Malmstadt is Professor at the University of Southern California. He received a BS in Chemical Engineering from Caltech and a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington. Following postdoctoral work at UCLA, he joined the Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at USC in 2007. Malmstadt is the recipient of a 2012 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator award. His research focuses on microfluidic strategies to facilitate material fabrication and biophysical analysis. He has pioneered the integration of ionic liquids as solvents in droplet microreactors and the application of microfluidic systems to synthesizing biomimetic cell membranes. Microfluidic analytical techniques he has developed include methods for measuring the permeability of cell membranes to druglike molecules and techniques for measuring ionic currents through membrane proteins.

3D printing technology offers a great opportunity for microfluidic device design and fabrication. Not only does it eliminate complex and time-consuming clean room processes from the device fabrication workflow, it also liberates device design from a planar or layered geometry. The ability to construct true three-dimensional channel configurations simplifies fluidic routing, facilitates parallelization, and opens up a breadth of opportunities for new fluidic operations. Here, we discuss a modular approach to 3D-printed microfluidics in which functional components are printed separately and then assembled by hand into fluidic circuits. This design methodology allows for the robust application of circuit analysis tools and statistical measures of fabrication consistency to predict the performance of microfluidic devices. It also allows for the construction of functional device elements via the simple incorporation of off-the-shelf microelectronics into modularly printed components.
