Mike Hughes and Fatima Labeed have collectively over 50 years of experience in dielectrophoresis research. Fatima is a clinical biochemist by first degree; Mike an electronic engineer; both have been involved in FEP since their PhDs. Between them, they have supervised 24 DEP PhDs, published 80 scientific papers on DEP, as well as three books and five patents on the subject.

 

Fatima's research interests cover the application of DEP for the study of cell biology, including chronobiology, cell differentiation, cancer biology and blood cells; Mike's research includes instrumentation development, diagnostics, biophysics theory and nanotechnology.  Fatima's group webpage can be found here and she can be emailed here; Mike's group webpage can be found here and he can be emailed here.
