Emulating the chondrocyte microenvironment using multi-directional mechanical stimulation in a cartilage-on-chip

A cartilage-on-chip platform coupled to Fluigent pressure controllers to generate compressive or multi-directional mechanical stimulations to study how mechanical stimulation of the chondrocytes can help to reproduce the native articular cartilage microenvironment.

Interfacing ARIA with fluorescence microscopy to automate multiplexed tissue imaging

Single-cell genomics is powerful but lacks spatial context, however, traditional immunofluorescence enables one to capture only two to six molecular features. Imaging technologies have been developed to address these issues, but each possesses limitations that constrain widespread use.

Microfluidics Technology for the Design and Formulation of Nanoparticles

Engineered Nanoparticles (NPs) are becoming essential to enhance drug delivery systems (DDSs) for both biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Controlling the delivery of molecules of interest, increases their concentration in a desired location and lead to improved drug efficacy as well as minor adverse effects. NPs including lipid-based and polymeric NPs have been used over the years as nanocarriers of various bioactive molecules.
