Welcome to the fans forum. The goal for the forum is to connect biology and technology coming to Jesus in charge scientists engineers particularly scientists becoming in the area bio space you know allow the opportunity to walk alongside with engineers to to solve some of the R. and D. issues and research challenges faced by researchers in the area and so very glad this sixteenth event has all of them mentioned and I would like to thank Director all of brand for supporting this event for on a regular basis I also want to thank each one off you for joining us today I'm going to do is the speakers in very short and so if you were wondering was the guy I'm sending a regular email stricken from lunch as it's me but you know that's become very important for us to know all many of you is going to show up usually sometimes you get ten percent of fifteen percent in a North shows from those that register and so this times very important for us to know if you're going to make it so that we can order proper lunches that's the main goal for that with that said I would like to thank folks who supported this particularly when this a first time you're doing an Emory University and so you know we were wondering lots of the over that there's any issues we need to deal with that we've not seen and so thankfully OD'ing Rand Paul like to thank all those Emory colleagues who promoted this event and also like to thank you duke and. Dennis and all of the many of my colleagues who supported this event. With that I'm going into the. Office speaker for the day and Dr Yong Day also known as Tony ease our custom from the Department of mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech it is C. it is B.S. and it must degrees in mechanical engineering from Seattle nationally new US cities in your city and his Ph D. from Carnegie Mellon. And. He also worked as a post talk at MIT. At the Langer lab of the Institute for of for Integrative cancer and he has received numerous awards it's hard to catalogue everything at this time but it's medically early in a dent in your abstract and bios feel free to go through for each speaker's but in short I would like to highlight the one and I actually got it DOES new innovator award and also N.S.F. carrier award in twenty seventeen watch this year congratulations Tony and he has also filed over twenty at patent applications worldwide including nine U.S. patterns that tell us about his accomplishment in the research areas he has authored several research articles in major journals including be on A.S. Now don't let does A.C.S. nano just to mention few and also you know we now invite him to present this topic. On engineering microfluidic systems for disease modeling and nanomedicine testing the R.'s don't. Think for. Forward motion and well what could. Go what I'm going to present today is. What my lab has been doing for four years and I join the Georgia parent the phone the third. Title engineered microphone and or do them all in on them and. We all know. How much money we invest in the development of drugs and I have to in the think. On your feet is. So up to two thousand keen. You can't feed your family life your two billion dollars per year and how many empty approval the killed biologic drugs we are on for you. Is not really. Being paid where the bend the money we go. Couple of reasons we have pretty lengthy timeline it takes you to fifteen to ten years for your drove to Loki and two things I want to focus on is two thirds of the code is to actually create the tries to. The people now that you and I fail fail the and fail Chile all the city so we can see our our money and we can spend there for better drugs into a compound so then underscores the importance of for. Fish to be interested so my question is how we can improve the coast effectiveness and pretty poller interested. In testing to see and if you could see a drug. Now only focusing on those but also Meanwhile people start to develop HOW CAN DO you are to drugs. To the target side we want with me Michel you still like this you know not a medicine that to what people are doing is they're creating developing some nano scale particle and materials and trying to or incorporate throat imaging A.J. and targeting like a. Show. So we can hopefully. DROs weird side effect. This means this to me affair you can target a specific road to the location we want. In the uprising we actually started from one thousand nine hundred. Like leap is. You can get my cells and light things. So we got a life of zones and Peggle a the to get better. Live in circulation and we got forced on them by this in cold gulp feel in nineteen ninety. By any other side people the developer Paula movies didn't try to be now now days since two thousand and eleven most of us are focusing on how we can start again. A specific film show they'll love different types of platforms and trying different types of sales in the steel is this infancy so. Why is there even though we're working on D.V.D.'s appreciation for diapers disease let me show you a cup of tea till we have. These Not on my this in the present anonymous and in training. You can see that most of them is based on life but. Even there will we got that in one thousand nine hundred. Eighteen and most other although not a particle that is also locally got the into We've the period or some other proteins in some other Peggle it is. But most of studies like dozens and that's not surprising because we developers and first but the problem is to critique or try yours multiplatform spatial lives. And even though we are working on different Highveld nanoparticle on a materials we don't have them many yet in. Trials and even so one of the reason is in only to Seldon and Clement Hill many pharmacist and scientists they actually criticised the field nano medicine why because we had. Like of to stand on the eight thousand issue Charlie Cook per year. We don't have them many of them in this. Show they pointed out why we have this. And those challenges include low to put disability. If you show a certain drug for fun and anonymous advocacy in vitro did that individually guarantee that you can show the minimal even though you show the in the wall that doesn't guarantee you can't show there you could try it the problem is we are going to spend all other money in this critical tries anymore those still on other Legion while you're working on the pretty. Power. To help you understand the field a little bit more if we see the critique or translation steps of none of the people synthesize and cats was intended to imbue through the sales and then try to optimize the competition and function. A few to five years if you're lucky and then if we are sure Ailey's disguise are not going to kill animals now we can test within one and then was so we spend money and time which there are other years there we can scale this weekend up the door for coming to triage if we are lucky so some of the challenges are you know the areas once you get the bench such instances. We have bits bits bits to experience. So even though you pipe every Well you can again see you can get the financial part today and tomorrow you and I cook the same food in. The same vein tomorrow taste different mean and then it's very hard to incorporate multiple drugs in any meeting and at the same time because he's all over realism or just the process how can you guarantee that you're going to get the same performance and same function. That's why we may have very poor people's ability once you scale up because you're going to combine and into it all the benches to get a certain amount for and most of it. In terms of being beat so you value. To the coacher of transfer cell lines isn't our primary shells show it's one of the stills so you can a retard get assistance between performance with the fills you want and most of this are enough is illogical rather than the most up to the coach and talks if it passed. And a very. Very expensive ethical issues elso crispest is in actresses we are now going to treat and we're going to treat human. Extremely difficult. In particular for me so you can really change a certain factors to get a certain outcome it's very hard to get very good correlations are using be able more. So what my lair want to do for a long term is how we can replace the entire process using micro system we can start from a continuous process in the a production multi confidant of particles and then we can use high throughput coach ideation approaches individual has this more physiological level environments a call that we're going to chip and then we can manufacture it is worth. It to bits of variation. And what I'm going to show you today is. Probably pretty much about what we are working on the Milan we have a lot of collaboration together. But there is that sense to be splitter issues and most of the world in my lab for four years and more progress and I'm going to show there is about to publish is all of the publishing. So this is like the overview of what we do in terms of the microfiche since this is all not of particles that we are synthesizing the people in our articles and A.T.V. and the man in our particles and their combinations are not really things as a light was ohms but we can see that side that that doesn't mean we cannot so you can see they're pretty much homogeneous e-e poor form and I. As you can also get this one in our community people and out of all the bills we call not a crystal and dogs inside and their And. Their communication and you can see the side uniformity of those once we create these Coley we have we are paralyzed microbrew platform that we can produce through Grant pretty damning and with less than point one pulley this is pretty. What I'm going to focus on today's more like how we can make H.D.L. because we are really interested in H.D.L. and there are carrier performance and it's all functionality in our body because it's a natural particle that we don't have that and we know that each of the other lever's fats and cholesterol for tissues to the lever they'll kill so-called Put up or kill people start that. Pool So you have additionally fifty repaired in your body we can infuse more H.D.L. and then you can remove those fat even though you don't have the family period and if you have more A.T.R. you can the movie of Magdalene returns it's not like essentially clinically to try or is using an infusion of H. of the L. fail because what people found is eighty years no longer is good eight each of you know if you inject this to patients in particularly our Tuesdays and chronic kidney disease because those patients hair protein from which we proteins implant. Excessively compared to healthy people so those functional proteins can be sampled to each of the deal will lose its origin are good clue as to the function so infusion of each of the L. surprising it doesn't warrant treatment trials so this is a one of the feel my lady is working on but reach I got to the innovative or from an age and we're going to talk about how we can mimic the age of the L today and then how you can use it as your carrier. So how can we meet the age of the L. Ike everyone knows a point on is the. Dawning and apolitical protein that for each of you so we are using a fully one and full story appears still we have mice fail and then a play war on the scaffold grant this mice still otherwise might if we don't stable but you can get a point on grip this life of structure so looks like a double layer Del because you want to create double that structure when do you get the disk with a shame once we add any hydrophone in the true ules because we have hydrophobic or inside you can get a little people each of the L. that's what's happening in our body too once he gets. To that fat inside from to for tissues so we are still what we are doing right now we are not only things aside in each of the but we are trying to get any potential how lucky proteins and peptides we can incorporate into the A.T.L. and want to be into me how. We can get filled if we get the sort of functional like an outside we can actually use it I did the function even though we have sort of functional protein with that specific domain is bad it actually you can utilize that function so we are working on using more because I actually Malaysian collaboration is in Georgia Ted So when you take a look at this you can we can mimic this. And we can also see their. Numbers the amount of clear Civil War nature do we can incorporate using this. Word for that and so now we're working on incorporating different proteins empathize into this age of their platforms and we are going to validate that using our microfiche insistence approaches. So this is the. The one. Schematic how we can society the L. and from my paper actually to SA thirteen because we are more like a food devise a reaction society and we are actually working on invention disclosures I'm not going to open today unfortunately been so what we are doing is you're using like a fortress is inside the Michael Free flow. So we're not really producing all different titles on the politics in one thing to see if at the same time we're changing the precursors if we want to for example golden out of crystal inculpatory the G.P.L. we're going to pick gold instead of cider contemned on right so we are not going to really be producing all these different now probably the same time so if we you create each of the a very well it's going to be around nine to eleven out of you know which is same size we have in our body if you incorporate hydrophobic. So if Codey is not a crystal or any materials inside then you're going to get a little larger of shooting out I mean if you remove proteins Dan you're going to get is the only eight I was doing myself with this distribution to a few scenes aside each of you know if you pull the dispersion or wide distribution meaning that year the system leap into solution. So what you can do. Deliver. In different type of a high the full B. imaging age and the id the I.R. so you can actually see whether you're not a particle pick up by sales or spit out in the solution you can also incorporate We can also incorporate gold on the pistol line so I was so we can detect this using C.P.U. or M.R.I. If we want to at the same time when we do produce for us in Tehran and. You can also. Be true for example stand in for. Crystal and for tissues that just. Want to see used simulate your. Macrophages with L.P.'s then seem to steer then we have similar performers when we use in the studio. And Mr they on the show you can actually incorporate this side of their list as well. So we passed it previously mostly with macrophages now we are working on wood. And the finish and show we had best done sure the malleable in the jail into me and all the you can see the bees can close to the other side so we're pretty good only keep her in the meal and this is the image we can get on one of this and one we found is the this. Engineered H.D. manning our particle with a play one protein then you actually promote activate. The New Deal type the UNAIDS so we can get more need to start production like same air as the National Park Place of years doing in our body we passed is the mutual and we we actually fear and see that I can one expression if we didn't seem to mimic a condition a kind of inflammation using Channa fall we couldn't see anything at the beginning but we've seen a fall halt we see this excessive expression of I Can one was the we and the aging Actually it's a decrease and there is a do dependent degrees but we are working on this pie will work by changing deeper into a functional protein is and how we can actually see the different type of functions India and the third in two bills are working on a point one We will see use human proof either a fully one that's quite expensive so we are looking at the what kind of all the peptides a point one we made a template we can use so our four I have is. What we Taffy recently you can see they're pretty similar to. The CHENEY A P A one an R. for and surprisingly are for have doesn't have any similar structure to a pulley on is motorway ten percent of a pulley one totally different structure but you can get pretty seamless structure like this and we can also get macrophage up take a very familiar and competition lines we can get pretty similar competition and the size like we start here has put a nine to thirteen on a meter. And surprisingly are for a. Cluster aflat like usually does so we found then how much we can mimic the ape way on a proof of a teen using the software we tested the forward or even the four as dual carrier performs. You can see there was two we incorporate one of the popular drug dogs inside we can get larger not a particle because it takes up. Dalton's I. Didn't really show say in capsule a share if. We can figure out if you can decrease of so viability and you can also see in the museum This is a nuclei It is fifty still you can see the older male they appear to tear the a chimp eap you want golf has a very similar spall as we are for our dogs so we are looking for. How much we can actually Mimi a pulley on and then. When others do the effectual killing be able to evaluate this to these we inject their using this to normals you know that to morrow using ages fifty sell we actually grow that you are in the mouse and we actually got the images about the bio distribution. We could see some quite different depending on the how much of the we got for me well of tissue. More significant in Wardle poly when we use a pull you want to be able so you can see the call of. Each of the particles and when we do with dogs and the a champion in the competition section and so we still want to work on this. New candidate to meet the eight we won we found there really peptide doesn't show really the same level of performance. Shows or such a lot of casual so we can still work on this and then trying to mimic D.L. better in in the fourth and up to the. Implications the second topic I want to show today is. How we are working on actually to populate to the Today my proficiency biology so we are developing different types of micro for the devices to mimic a certain tissues and cell environment in the future and also if you live in shell what I'm going to show you. Is invent rainouts microfiche as Illinois are for sale and one. Point during all still one of those to the real world. To make the human blood brain barrier so we have a couple other studies in the hope that I can have a chance to update this later. Still like we all know Michael angio fish will assist and so full of chips The disadvantage is very using prime. So we don't have to worry about Christmas is in actresses. And we are trying to make a search and condition healthy status and disease condition same time of year if we have a really good control chemical indicating by going barmy and the size that we'll have to use all of the cells you use all other religion and there is a huge potential you can do to. Explore and use induce once we get this later and this is a war on the future hopefully we can get this body on a chair through that is in evidence here into the thirteen. So one of the popular platform we are using in my lab is using this tissue there platform so we are using. A porous membrane to meal and a culture and that there are cells and other strong muscles in the bottom and we can use some hydrogels to create through the night environment. To get a special temporal control chemical it. Is and steel mills and there we can see there are drugs in our part of the target being and deceptive performers whether how much can actually translocate were stored inside into still cells were delivered to drugs in the war channel and one of the approach we publish is gentle use and to do poor is a microphone as Illinois and this is a very simple and a feel like the Michael food device you can culture in the seal layer in the upper layer and you can get a little narrower channel in the bottom cuz we have. Open and in each side we will change our cots patients not a part of delivery if you want to see the trends of patients so you can get. Them so you can mimic at least the center region and also if you see really the shoe. Stress Actually you cannot get this year's trends change because the channel so you need to utilize the center channel if you want to focus on more fuel that's a good reminder still why this is again I called is a real time high kind of height of the Internet of sellers and it Billy and their permeability and it's compatible with the music system so you can take the images you can see all of the poor us poor year and the membrane and you can get in the theorem a layer an injunction that injunction has become in and you can you can also see that I can why special depending on the different chemicals and you can just you know. And this is true what my students are doing in the lab your fabric carrying all the chairs and then we came to create the Electra and you can use a evil into to measure the T.R. using it to get. A kind of high throughput approach like so we have it's on housing way we don't have to worry about any bubbly shoes and. So what we did in this paper is we found that this may be a really good copy we can mimic Still what about we may make the water to flow so we can actually use and that information I would check once you get that information we can actually test a lot of different on particles and medicines so what we did is like you now and then the by Dr one hundred dollars. If we have to flow in our body we have more chance to get the plugs and the fear cells will be activated would this different type of shoes track. So you can see that once we got closer you don't have flow compared to the other. Even using the same or those are partial like you Schimmel they can get through the clues is like closing in the one part and the other part of you are not going. So you can have one in your mobile with a potty in there to control so we thought what if we mimic this in our cylinder in the morning so we simply. Simulate it or how high flow rate we need to get the saucer to show stress and then we get this sensor region to two Conti five actually how much I can one special we get if we stimulate way this also to show stress one urge why you want her to get the physiological surprisingly if you reduce the frequency. Down to ten fold and then point on her to you really didn't get. The I can expression so and this is like if we make a physiological of an effort then of an environment they show their response but if you change the frequency actually didn't show and same in significantly same similar to the control so we are working on how we can mimic better the PES official conditions using this device and now we are working on targeting and the theorem and treating the information using this device and using this emergency of pens and T.R. measurement the military. On other topics I want to show you to the. Developing in my lab because renters did in. The end their goods like everyone knows of one of the most complex complicated that structure in our body is multiple cells in bore actually to maintain you in a function so very what B.V. easy to do and it delayed the transport of more tools what we know is that like less than four hundred baud. Can get in the brain or you for your molecules people feel you can get translight this is. Most of the drugs you cannot really guarantee that in print print. So. If we can get the meat from all the B.V. we can model a certain disease you in from Asia maybe a lady that would you have trying to mimic and we can pass this it's intros and we can trust a blueberry or whether we can target a certain skills inside the brim to. Hope that we can me my aim was to use and that can contribute to that to think a translation so because you may be interested in what kind of business models Alcides has to models show there's no really giving beats on all those outside people who spell of time and money and to get like really good he beats all these two moles like everyone knows chance well is cultural So you can't coach and a still sells on the top and you can coach opposing them in the Beneath of the membrane and you can put your that's us into bonds so you can actually easily try coach of the three selves we believe that. You can create the blues and believe that the problem is the size not really sure the recruiting tutti if you want to made it where the environment show even though you can measure the T R and the tight junctions in brain space being the seal sales deal is now really feel as good of an end you don't have actually just to see it and the fit that's connection between the sales and S.S.I. which we can see in the bill to be minimal speak I'm all you can make a direct contact with the problem is this is not we having our brains fell you can get all the information. From US Fed only them all if we're interested in what's happening if they have died content one or not a show of Vanderbilt researchers there the Vaio John Weeks who they created this. This cloture using your eyes and all the cells needed for a balloon barrier and they clear this into Sergeant. Teen one problem in this mall Harris one challenge is the closure one then collision wise and. The mature we have in the brain and it's in now on to create a search and in from the tree see all what is necessary I want to show they're in a minute and grew from balsa and it created a cool culture but that's why culture but this is like the fickle culture they really get data N.T.R. The problem is they use also collision want to get the room and one of the reason people really want to use caution one this. To get the room is structure and theory of the year thank you if you have a subtitle jail is very hard to get you must talk to it in the sales so they're used to uses and this is like five and if I can meter is not really a micro vessel so those are two and even larger scale and recent paper this year the Polish and the seal sell microvascular with death on site and they show and the fear but the use it out brain specific cells a little bit. In other than environment so what I want to focus on to this just two Part one is the. One is how important is through the environment years. From literature you can see that after a sign she liked it and Michael awful issue to be right this why are you quite sure this is three D. If you can mimic the through the environment you can refuse the powerful as a condition for example G. fat is a well known biomarker for us to say but if you have to hide energy feet to fat meaning that you're after a safe activity by one of the other Banty's you can get using this or larger approaches you can mimic them all healthy system and disease system so you can compare if you use some like psychological. There will be all the time activated so you're not going to get healthy. And Michael there too well you're not going to get really good. And then healthy shape if you coach or this into the end. Of an environment so we're actually using our micro features of them only to afford or and how we can meet at the end barriers show this is like a very beautiful schematic you know of us care unit structure. With on your own and if you focus and certainly you can see this kind of structure we have in the site and based membrane between these two and after say Mike that we are equal culture together so we are using this double layer micro to transfer the millionaire and with two side channels are being called Play hydrogen in the bottom of your child so we can actually get through the cell network and more physiological Irvan is just a matter unlike a very structured and controlled the shoes to profile so this is what we got and I mean do this and then move quickly she'll be within the seal cells so you can get in the still cells and Jose and we can come find a gel with this of distention Dr physics in the lower chamber so this is the really hot images we go in in a month and then you can see actually do cry. Complex structure you can get at the end assume a layer and as the saying The Lord chambre and you can see their structures very well. Branching process is designed branching processes and then you can also see their connection with the AAPL layer the base membrane and one of the key par for the hydrogen all we use into which Amber is we are using Conley real. Or using magic combined with telephones is this. More like what we have in our brain in such a matter if compared to collision one so we are using the Mets as your intention see which is show there actually little more. Expression G.'s special of this old is reactive the system markers answer the question so we can actually make better health the brain builds a billion more than using this hydrogen and you can also see that there differ on the full G. when you purchase the sign into the in three D. L. So Michael Kocher this into the in three D. So we are using math test you see coming Asian right now to build is and I SHOW US Army just so we turn four in this chair so you can see from top you understood Tai junctions and passed and asked us Michael E. in the lower chamber and also parasites the side and you can see the end this is still for the hallway as we focus on there on the bottom and you can see the ethyl side very Dan's structure and that's world in the lower chamber. Which is quite different from what you saw in the two structures. From view you can see the. Feel the year the top and then a sign in the beneath like we did. And you can get this astral saw in that structure and fear we can also stain a coat for him for we choose express when the content within the cell layer in. Blue invasion. So this one is the and this is a special edition once you culture in the field so with this brother member yourself you can actually specialized knowledge in expressions for example junction of proteins high junction proteins and also transport a good one and I P one which is important for I'm a little bit of legalese so we get pretty high expression way into still sells a was so we try cloture this still weird the growth of embryo cells come. There are two to the Mormon Church. And I'm going to quickly show what we are doing in terms of manufacturing so we have one of them although we published recently is like of water small we created the people not a particle Zwi Pell lie that is we use a sea of people and there we can get the best mixing efficiency each of these micro reactor we actually show there we are and we can change in years still we create. A gasket based. Free chair machine and if we can get this really close of play to control you can see how we can get a better control with using our cost of pushing control compared to the pumps and we can also get the stable response and with this device we can get pretty good control distribution on a particular evil we manufacture in our party compared to. Control once we have disturbance so we really get in on the particle distribution compared to the more. And paralyzed we have a little wider distribution of steel we can work on this to get better but you can see pretty dense concentrated concentrated H.D.L. and they're performers by activities field there so we're manufacturing now so we are a little bit in the last to me because Paul is looking at the retiree's. This is the desired is. For to you how the war for my little members I really appreciate their dinner at Ford and my sponsors and my collaborators and back for a time in history Thank you. And I take some questions. You mentioned yes nine to eleven on a meter if you will. So if I understand your question correctly so. There are each of the we have a nine to eleven you know side if we get. Within the core then defies is up to twenty even thirty now I mean. So if you talk about how I can do produce to the brain reduce aside depends on the issues that your question. A.T.L. is known to cause the bloomin data. If. I think there is the pending issues but I don't think each of the L. is really going through between sales. Because he started in four hundred dog show they're using to step through media transport like you want it in are using edge of the setters they have the binding domain so they can get like a Trojan horse so it's not like workflow to the brain but was to get in and also to be in there and if you have a pool of yell in the brain dig can really contribute to cleared I and I live and. Out of the brain show you how do you homeostasis some reason the way from the truth in the brain but side like even though you have a nine to eleven and you cannot really get into the brain just based on this that you. Did answer. So the deal that you know you use is that since Size Me a lab or yeah yeah. Yeah I have those casual even though I sure like to give Ariz A lot of people ask me those are now Paul you've got fantasizing you know we are senseless and I'll call you a not purchasing H.D.L. we're projecting peptide the precaution for you one other pep talk. Time and then Fisher side because. We can actually develop level we can create a platform with different time warp sions that's why we're doing the more good dynamics to create another type of platform which was not shown before and these are in the range of what can or Dalton is at the range of molecule of a dollar I mean so I like trying to kill a dog I need to prove a point why we. Be hundred is like. Yeah I remember Bill Like hundred two dogs and. So that's why L.D.L. is larger than a. Brain by. Any of the questions if there are no question let's thank Tony one more time thank you. No not to press in this moment or in opposition of his time coming here and present in this work at not offense for Tony this is for you and just try to change the model of that I hope you can have it so thank you thank you so much appreciate it.
