Steven A. Soper Research Group

University of Kansas

What if complex medical measurements could fit onto a small chip? Steven Soper develops biomedical devices and assays that analyze DNA, RNA, and proteins for discovery and diagnostics. His research includes lab-on-a-chip cancer diagnostics, methods for isolating circulating tumor cells, and nanoscale devices for sequencing. The group integrates reagents, analytical methods, and hardware across multiple length scales, with applications to cancer, stroke, and infectious disease. This connects chemistry and mechanical engineering around the design of practical diagnostic systems.
