Chonnam Nat’l University microfluidics study features on cover of leading journal

A research team at Chonnam National University has drawn international attention after its microfluidics study was featured as the cover paper of the 25th anniversary issue of a leading scientific journal. According to the university Wednesday, the team led by Park Jin-soo, a professor in the university’s School of Mechanical Engineering, conducted the international joint research with scientists from Germany’s Technische Universitat Ilmenau. The study appeared on the cover of Lab on a Chip, an international journal published by the U.K.-based Royal Society of Chemistry. Building on years of research in microfluidics, which examines how fluids behave at microscopic scales, Park’s team investigated how biological particles such as cells, bacteria and microalgae move and interact in fluid environments. Many earlier studies treated biological particles as perfectly spherical when conducting theoretical or computational analyses. Yet such assumptions often failed to align with results observed in experiments and clinical settings. To address this gap, the researchers focused on the fact
