Biography:
Dr Paul Li obtained his Ph.D in the University of Toronto in 1995. Then he developed the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip at the University of Alberta and City University of Hong Kong.
Dr Li joined Simon Fraser University in 1999, and became full professor in 2010. Dr Li conducted microfluidic single-cell analysis for analyzing the effects of chemical compounds on individual cancer cells. He has also developed the nanobioarray chip to detect single base-pair cancer gene mutation.
Dr Li has published a monograph: Fundamentals of lab on a chip for biological analysis and discovery. He is associate editor of the international journal called “Canadian Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences”. Dr Li is the inventor of 4 granted patents and 5 pending patents, and he is the founder of ZellChip Technologies Inc. specializing in microfluidic-based instrument for cellular and DNA analysis.
