Our laboratory focuses on developing microscale technologies for cell biology studies, with a current emphasis on cancer research. The ultimate goal is to apply these systems for practical and functional assays, high-throughput cell-based screening, and diagnostic applications in cancer biology and medicine. We use an interdisciplinary approach that involves integration of mechanical design, microfabrication techniques, fluid dynamics principles, cell biology, advanced image analyses and computational methods to create innovate tools and technologies that can help probe the latest questions and foremost challenges in modern biology.
