Welcome to the ZidaLab

Previous Next

At the ZidaLab, we pioneer microfluidic technologies for single-molecule and single-cell analysis with the mission of driving innovation in precision medicine.

Our research lies at the intersection of biotechnology, micro/nano-engineering, and computational analysis — developing diagnostic tools that are smarter, more sensitive, and more accessible.

🔍 Our Vision

We are transforming the way diseases are diagnosed by:

• Designing label-free digital nucleic acid tests for cost-effective genetic diagnostics
• Innovating high-throughput tools for single-cell transcriptomics
• Harnessing deep learning and image-based analysis to unlock the potential of droplet-based assays
• Redefining the role of microfluidics in real-world clinical and biomedical applications

🚀 Spotlight Technologies

• Deep-dLAMP: A digital nucleic acid test that uses droplet volume statistics and precipitate-based detection — no fluorescence required.
• StratoLAMP: The world’s first label-free multiplex droplet assay, distinguishing gene targets by precipitate morphology using deep learning
• CP-seq: A breakthrough single-cell screening platform enabling combinatorial perturbation analysis with unmatched throughput and efficiency

These platforms challenge the conventional boundaries of genetic testing and single-cell analysis — making advanced diagnostics more scalable and affordable.
