Teodor Veres's Biography

Teodor Veres, Section Head, Bioanalytical Micro-Nano Devices, Life Sciences Division, National Research Council of Canada & McGill University

Dr. Veres is the Head of the Bioanalytical Micro-Nano Devices Section in the Life Sciences Division of the National Research Council of Canada. He holds adjunct professor positions in McGill Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering departments and Laval University Medical School. He graduated in 1999 from the Université de Montréal with a Ph.D. in Physics. Dr. Veres has expertise in the design and fabrication of nanomaterials and their integration in microfluidic systems for applications in clinical and environmental rapid diagnostics as well as for cell and tissue engineering. Dr. Veres is leading NRC initiative aimed to the development of polymer-based fabrication of bio-microsystems and in particular lab-on-chip technologies for micro-analytical applications. He is also co-founder and co-director of the joint Health Canada-NRC Reference Centre for Rapid Diagnostic, Regulatory Sciences and Food Safety. He coauthored more than 150 papers and 25 patent applications in the field of design, fabrication and testing of polymer-based micro-systems and magnetic nano-carriers and their applications for diagnostics.

The development of disposable microfluidic devices for rapid point-of-care applications has become central to progress in medical diagnostics and a variety of other fields. The use of these systems is attractive because they promote reduced sample consumption and analysis time without being restricted to standard laboratory settings. To this end, lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems have mostly been shown to function in conceptual ways, yet their commercialization and widespread in clinical use has been hindered by a number of challenges, which include materials and low-cost fabrication technologies as primary concerns. We will present specific examples of designs and fabrication processes using thermoplastics polymers able to produce microfluidic systems for rapid diagnostics applications. Examples of all-thermoplastic integrated sample-to-answer centrifugal microfluidic systems for nucleic acid analysis performing less than one hour cellular lysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, amplicon digestion, and microarray hybridization on a plastic support will be presented. In addition, this talk will also demonstrate the possibility to use new materials and fabrication processes to bridge the gap between the laboratory proof-of-concept Lab-On-Chip demonstrations and the industrial like fabrication production based on the use of low-cost thermoplastic elastomers.
