Funded Researchers
Patrick Doyle
- Robert T. Haslam (1911) Professor of Chemical Engineering
- Department of Chemical Engineering
Professor Pat Doyle is a chemical engineering professor at MIT with broad research interests ranging from fundamental studies of single DNA molecules, to microfluidic devices, to water purification, to the design of new technologies for spatial detection of miRNA. He is also the co-founder of the startup companies Firefly Bioworks (acquired by Abcam in 2015), and Motif Micro (acquired by YPB Systems in 2018). He works closely with many companies as either a consultant, SAB advisor or through sponsored research in his lab.
