About

Kai-Chun Yang is pioneering the automation of life science research at the single-cell level, a frontier where precision and biocompatibility are paramount. His major contribution, the development of PULSE (Precise Ultrasonic Liquid Sample Ejection), introduces a novel method for handling individual cells using targeted ultrasonic pulses, circumventing the limitations of traditional mechanical pipetting. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2024 paper which has already garnered 15 citations, enables high-throughput, contactless manipulation of single cells in liquid samples—a critical step for advancing genomics, drug screening, and personalized medicine. By solving the long-standing challenge of automating workflows at the microscale, Yang’s work promises to accelerate discoveries in cellular biology and reduce human error in lab processes. His research sits at the intersection of microfluidics, acoustics, and bioengineering, and his innovative approach has been recognized as a key enabler for next-generation laboratory automation. For students and researchers, Yang’s work exemplifies how creative engineering can unlock new possibilities in biomedical science.
