Abstract
Microneedles are medical microdevices that provide a pathway across the skin barrier to exchange fluids or compounds with the body for drug delivery or biosensing. This talk will highlight some of the research results on hollow microneedles and associated microfluidics phenomena including manufacturing methods for hollow microneedles. It further discusses the use of these needles to characterize the diffusion of compounds in biological tissues and the mechanics of fluid absorption biological tissue upon injection. Sensing applications of hollow microneedles include continuous glucose monitoring and a point-of-care sensing platform technology for therapeutic drug monitoring in tiny fluid volumes.
