　　报告摘要

　　Droplet microfluidics has emerged as a versatile and powerful tool for high-throughput single-cell and single-molecule analysis. By partitioning samples into millions of uniform microdroplets,this technology has driven significant advances in cell biology, medical diagnostics, and drugdevelopment. My research leverages this transformative approach to tackle pivotal challengeswithin the life and biomedical sciences. In pursuit of this mission, my group has pioneered agroundbreaking technique that seamlessly integrates emulsion microdroplets, specifically water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsion and hydrogel droplets, with commercially available flowcytometry instrumentation. This integration empowers automated, precise, quantitative, high-throughput, and multi-parameter characterization and quantification of individual cells andmolecules. Our efforts have demonstrated the power of this integrated technique across variousoiochemical assays, including but not limited to single-cell biomass and metabolite production,single-cell protein secretion, and single-molecule diagnostics.
