T3008 Biomems and Microfluidics - Novel Applications
OverviewBiological microsystems and microfluidic devices have developed significantly in recent years. Many of these systems have evolved beyond the technology development stage into applications in clinical and commercial areas. While the traditional application areas have primarily been within the realms of diagnostics and sensing, these technologies have advanced into other areas such as cell separation, platforms for tissue engineering, platforms to study stem cell behavior, implantable prosthetic devices, and drug delivery systems, to name only a few. This session aims to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government working in a broad spectrum of novel application areas.
