Noah Malmstadt's Biography



Noah Malmstadt, Professor, Mork Family Dept. of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science, 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.

Assembly of microfluidic systems from modular 3D-printed components enables an innovative and powerful design workflow. While traditional fabrication approaches require design and fabrication of monolithic integrated devices, a modular approach allows for design and optimization of individual system elements. Final system design then becomes a simple iterative process based on assembling these elements by hand. An additional strength of a 3D-printed modular approach is the capacity to seamlessly integrate off-the-shelf electromechanical components into the modules. We have recently demonstrated integration of thermal sensors, optical sensors, and electromagnets into 3D-printed fluidic modules. These integrated components facilitate an array of tasks including flow rate detection, calorimetry, droplet counting, bioassay readout, and bead-based separations. Together with strategies for controlling the surface chemistry of 3D-printed parts and implementing efficient in-line mixing, these active modules form the foundation for designing and building complex integrated bioanalytical systems.
