Daniel T. Chiu

Daniel T. Chiu is the A. Bruce Montgomery Professor of Chemistry, Endowed Professor of Analytical Chemistry, Washington Research Foundation Professor, and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. He obtained a B.A. in Neurobiology and a B.S. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley in 1993, then a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Stanford University in 1998. After completing postdoctoral research at Harvard University, he started in 2000 at the University of Washington. He is the author of more than 250 publications and is the inventor on over 250 issued patents.

The Chiu Group’s research focuses on nanomaterials, microfluidics, and the development of tools for ultra-sensitive, highly multiplexed digital biological measurements. Some of the technologies developed in the Chiu Lab have contributed to the formation of several startup companies, helping to make these innovations more accessible to the biomedical community. These commercialized products include instrumentation platforms and devices, such as rare-cell isolation and diagnostic systems, as well as reagents designed to enable high-throughput, highly multiplexed single-cell analysis for digital biological measurements.
