Profile Summary

Dr. Md Nazibul Islam is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley, with extensive experience in microfluidic engineering and electrokinetic flow applications for diagnostic and cellular analysis tools. His research explores innovative solutions for single-cell analysis, biosensing, and point-of-care diagnostics, with a special interest in advancing public health technology. Dr. Islam completed his Ph.D. at Texas A&M University, where he pioneered a label-free method to analyze protein-ligand binding kinetics in liquid phases. Utilizing AC electrokinetics, his technique transduces molecular binding events at liquid-liquid interfaces into macroscopic liquid motion, demonstrating a highly sensitive biosensing mechanism. He also introduced a novel approach to insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) in paper, leveraging paper fibers’ insulating properties to enhance cellular manipulation and separation in portable diagnostic devices. For these contributions, Dr. Islam received the American Electrophoresis Society’s prestigious Blue Fingers Award (2022) and the Jim and Cathy Holste Graduate Fellowship (2021).
