List of microfluidics research groups

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of microfluidics research groups gives a comprehensive overview of academic research organisations in the field of microfluidics, sorted geographically. Any sufficiently notable research group (which in general can be considered as any group having published in well regarded, high impact factor journals) should be listed here, along with a brief description of their research.
