Research Summary

Microarray technology provides researchers with the ability to easily study tens of thousands of genes or gene products simultaneously. Microarrays have become a standard laboratory tool and have found a role in both basic and applied biological research including drug discovery, biomarker selection, toxicogenomics and development of diagnostic and prognostic tests.

Dr Patricia Soteropoulos directs the Center for Applied Genomics at the Public Health Research Institute. The Center for Applied Genomics focuses on the applications and development of microarray technology. The current research interests of her group include the development of: novel protein arrays; self-reporting microarrays; new fluorescent labeling technology; novel microarrray surfaces including nanohydrogels and polyelectrolyte multilayers; novel data analysis tools; efficient array printing technology; microfluidic arrays; and the fully integrated microarray system for diagnostics and point of care applications.
