Abstract
This presentation will give an
overview of efforts in our laboratory to develop microfluidic systems to control cell microenvironments
and to perform high precision biochemical measurements. Microfluidic technologies to be discussed
include computer-controlled microfluidics, self-switching microfluidic transistor-like circuitry,
microfluidics that utilize aqueous two phase droplets, and fracture fabrication of tunable
nanochannels. Specific biomedical applications that will be discussed include lung-on-a-chip,
microfluidic assisted reproductive technologies and in vitro fertilization, heartbeat-on-a-chip,
chromatin analysis in fracture-fabricated nanochannels, and protein biomarker analysis. The long-term
goal is to create miniature patients-on-a-chip for understanding disease mechanisms, testing
drugs, performing better cell-based therapies, and validating protein biomarkers.
