Kansas State University received a $450,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), awarded July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2029. The project develops a Gel Electromicrofluidics (GEM) platform for enhanced single-cell analysis and diagnostics. The primary deliverable is a sensing gel integrated with electromicrofluidics and electrokinetic manipulation technology that amplifies small, difficult-to-detect target cells into large, highly fluorescent DNA colonies. This advancement enables visualization using low-resolution microscopy, significantly improving both sampling efficiency and detection sensitivity for applications in healthcare, medicine, and homeland security pathogen detection. The research incorporates complementary technical innovations including electrowetting-based gel spreading to eliminate air trapping and improve cell recovery, as well as electro-aligned gel and electro-confined polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques to advance mechanistic understanding of electrokinetic processes. Beyond the core technology platform, the award requires integration of educational components including student-designed projects, graduate program development, undergraduate research opportunities, and outreach programs. The project is based at Kansas State University's Manhattan, Kansas campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
