Xiujun James Li,
Assistant Professor, (BME) & MASE,
The University of Texas at El Paso
XiuJun (James) Li received his Ph.D. in bioanalytical chemistry with Dr. Paul Li in 2008 from Simon Fraser University, Canada, and then move to University of California Berkeley working with Dr. Richard Mathies and Harvard University with Dr. George Whitesides for his postdoctoral research from 2009 to 2011, as a NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow. Currently, he is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC), Biomedical Engineering (BME), and Materials Science & Engineering (MASE) at University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), USA. His current research interest is centered on bioanalysis and bioengineering using microfluidic lab-on-a-chip and nanosensing, including but not limited to low-cost diagnosis, hybrid microfluidic devices, single-cell analysis and 3D cell culture. He edited a book entitled “Microfluidic Devices for Biomedical Applications” published by Elsevier in 2013. Dr. Li is the recipient of UT STARS Award in 2012, UTEP Outstanding Performance Award in 2014, and the 2014 Bioanalysis Young Investigator Award.

Infectious pathogens often cause serious economic loss and public health concerns throughout the world. One important characteristic of infectious diseases is that they often occur in high-poverty regions, where people cannot afford expensive and bulky equipment. Although numerous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and paper-based microfluidic devices have been developed to address this issue, PDMS/paper hybrid systems that take advantage of both substrates are rarely reported. Each device substrate has its own advantages and disadvantages. Herein, we have developed different low-cost PDMS/paper hybrid microfluidic systems that take advantage of both PDMS and paper substrates for rapid and sensitive infectious disease diagnosis, especially in low-resource settings. For instance, the novel use of the paper substrate used in a hybrid microfluidic system facilitated the integration of graphene oxide nanosensors on the chip for one-step food-borne pathogen detection, and avoided complicated surface treatment for nanosensor immobilization in a PDMS or glass-only microfluidic system.
