Welcome Message from the Chairs of the Conference
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 1st International Conference on CD Microfluidics, convening at the Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City Campus, from April 3rd to 5th, 2024.
This groundbreaking conference will bring together global leaders in CD Microfluidics (Lab on a Disc) to debate remaining challenges and highlight recent developments with transformative potential with the hope to help set a future course for the field.
The focus areas are medical diagnostics, water treatment, and general microfluidic innovation. The conference features four plenary lectures by recognized thought leaders. Dr. Andreas Manz will present an overview of the impact microfluidics has had on diagnostics. Drs. Roland Zengerle and Yoon Cho will highlight the specific impacts CD fluidics has had on medical diagnostics and water treatment. Lastly, Dr. Albert van den Berg will share his insights on anticipated breakthroughs in microfluidics.
Besides the 4 plenaries, there will be 11 invited talks, 15 regular talks, and 40 posters.
A special conference issue comprising selected papers will be curated for publication in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, further enriching the discourse initiated at the conference.
Yet, the essence of CD Microfluidics Mexico 2024 extends beyond a mere academic and industrial exchange. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mexico City, we’ve organized a rich cultural program, complete with amenities during lunch breaks and an exquisite social dinner night. It is an occasion to reconnect with colleagues, forge new bonds, and inspire a new generation of eager students, budding scientists, and innovative engineers, both from Mexico and the global community.
Let us embark on this journey of exploration, collaboration, and inspiration together.
Warm regards,
