This webinar is intended for researchers, biotechnologists, clinicians, and industry professionals interested in microfluidic technology, regenerative medicine, and biomanufacturing.
Presentation Abstract
Microfluidics, a technology characterized by the engineered manipulation of fluids at the microscale, has shown considerable promise in point-of-care diagnostics and clinical research. By offering precise control over the cellular microenvironment, microfluidic platforms are becoming valuable tools for cell biologists to further their understanding of complex biological systems.
The miniaturization of macroscopic systems and the ability for massive parallel processing make microfluidic chips particularly well-suited for high-throughput biological experiments. These chips can enable diverse applications, including cell sorting, single cell analysis, digital PCR, drug screening, etc.
Over the past decade, my group has developed several microfluidic systems for cell biology. During this seminar, I will showcase our contributions to rare cell sorting (cancer liquid biopsy and NIPT), sperm purification and analysis (IVF), and stem cell manufacturing.
