Microfluidics and Bio-Mems

Claudia Trejo obtained her Ph.D. in Physics at the Universitat de Barcelona in 2016 where she worked with the group of Dynamics of interfaces in nanotechnology, fluidics and biophysics. Since 2018 she is developing her research at the Instituto de Física of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso where she is in charge of an international collaboration project with Barcelona and leads the Biorheology and Microfluidics Laboratory. Here with her group they develop experimental research in interface dynamics in microfluidics, hemorheology, red blood cells dynamics in confined geometries and mechanical properties of red blood cells. Currently, in collaboration with the Institute of Chemistry and the Medical Technology departament of PUCV, she is working on the development of Point of Care diagnostics techniques, relating the viscosity of blood with the mechanical properties of red blood cells
