| Hi, my name is Omar F. Khan, and I'm currently at University of Toronto. I am working towards my PhD and my supervisor is Professor Michael V. Sefton. I learned about [[OpenWetWare]] from Professor Axel Guenther, and I've joined because I fabricate microfluidic devices. You can [[Special:Emailuser/Omar F. Khan|email me through OpenWetWare]].

| | I work towards the treatment of damaged tissues and organs by combining nanotechnology and tissue engineering. I also make universal vaccine platforms using my nanotechnology. Recently, my work was featured in the [http://ki-galleries.mit.edu/2014/khan Koch Institute Public Galleries] at MIT.
