Preliminary Program subject to change
TA007 BioMEMS and Microfluidic Technology for Cell and Biomolecule Analysis
OverviewThe ability to study processes at the single-cell level promises to provide a host of information with benefits in the area of therapeutics and drug discovery. In this session, we invite papers describing microfluidic technology to probe chemical and biochemical responses at the cellular and sub-cellular levels. In addition, we welcome contributions focused on any related aspects including simulation and modeling studies, materials modification to improve system performance, novel sample preparation protocols, and analytical techniques.
