Welcome to the Bowser Group!
Research in the Bowser group takes a bioanalytical approach to technology development. We develop methods and instrumentation to measure biological systems at scales and timeframes not accessible by existing techniques. These versatile technologies can be applied to answer a wide range of chemical and biological questions, from those with specific biomedical implications in neurology, immunology, cardiology, and endocrinology, to those with broader insight on the origins and organization of life.
Current areas of focus combine microfluidics, electrophoresis, nucleic acid assays, and cell culture. Check out the Research Page for an overview of our current projects!
Recent News
Science Outreach Visit to Visitation School!
We recently visited Visitation School for a science outreach event, where we discussed our research and answered students’ questions about science and STEM careers. It was a great opportunity to engage with students, encourage curiosity, and discuss how scientific research can address real-world challenges.
Sharing Our Research at Pittcon 2026
The group was represented at this year’s 77th Pittcon Conference in San Antonio by Jaya, Sandra, and Jordan, who shared their latest research through oral presentations. In addition, Sandra presented a poster highlighting her work. It was a great opportunity to talk science and enjoy some time exploring San Antonio as a group.
