About Us

The Wheeler Lab is an interdisciplinary research group based out of the University of Toronto led by Professor Aaron Wheeler. The primary focus of our research is the development of lab-on-a-chip techniques for various applications in chemistry, biology, and medicine. Ultimately, lab-on-a-chip systems lead to reduced reagent consumption and analysis time, the capacity to integrate multiple functions onto a single device, and the potential for high throughtput analysis.

Research Topics

Our research can be divided into the following topics. Learn more.
