About
Vidhi A. Trivedi is a pioneer in microfluidic technologies for high-throughput biological screening, with a particular focus on cell encapsulation and droplet-based assays. Her seminal 2009 work on microfluidic encapsulation of cells in alginate capsules—cited over 20 times—addressed a critical bottleneck in cell-based screening: maintaining eukaryotic cell viability outside solid supports. By engineering microdroplet systems that encapsulate cells within biocompatible alginate shells, Trivedi demonstrated how to drastically reduce reagent costs and increase throughput while preserving cellular function. This innovation bridged the gap between biomolecular and cell-based high-throughput screening (HTS), enabling more physiologically relevant assays for drug discovery and synthetic biology. Her contributions have influenced the design of next-generation microfluidic platforms for single-cell analysis and tissue engineering. Trivedi’s work exemplifies how clever microfluidic engineering can solve fundamental biological challenges, making her a key figure in the advancement of lab-on-a-chip technologies for biomedical research.
