Dr Jia Yanwei,\nan assistant professor from the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed Signal\nVLSI (AMSV), University of Macau (UM), recently received an Innovation Award at\nthe Ninth International Multidisciplinary Conference on Optofluidics (IMCO) for\nher study titled \u2018Digital Microfluidics for Disease Diagnostics\u2019. A PhD student\nfrom Dr Jia\u2019s research group, namely Shen Ren, received the Best Poster Award\nat the same conference for his paper titled \u2018Hairpin-structured PCR Enhancer\nfor Digital Microfluidic Systems\u2019. The awards are testament to their\ncontributions in applying digital microfluidics in biomedical sciences.<\/p>
IMCO aims to\npromote scientific exchange and foster closer links among leading international\noptics and micro\/nanofluidics researchers. Every year, IMCO honours individuals\nwith outstanding achievements in optics, photonics, microfluidics, biomedical\nscience, and other related areas. Two out of the 11 nominees received the\nInnovation Award and only one out of the 100 posters received the Best Poster Award.\nThe awards were jointly presented by the IMCO, Nature Communications<\/i>, and IOO Foundation. Dr Jia\u2019s work has had a great\nscientific impact and profound practical implications in related fields. <\/p>
