Microfluidics deals with the behaviour, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically sub-millimeter, scale at which capillary penetration governs mass transport.
Rob Dunn has recently published Never Out of Season, the story of the homogenization of our global food supply and the risks that homogenization poses. He will build on the stories from this...
Virus – host interactions are currently among the most intensively studied research areas due to the promising new antiviral approaches emerging from these studies. Indeed, RNA viruses,...
The immune system is complex and dynamic, focused on defending the body from a host of pathogens ranging from viruses to cancer. A number of different mechanisms have evolved that help the bo...
Increasing prevalence and severity of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections has necessitated novel antibacterial strategies. Ideally, new approaches would target bacterial pat...
Adjunct probiotic therapy has the potential to decrease Clostridium difficile disease incidence and severity. After screening several potential probiotic bacteria for intrinsic resistance to...
Prokaryotes have long been at war with bacteriophage. The evolutionary pressure of this struggle has led both sides to develop sophisticated defenses. Notably, CRISPR-Cas systems evolved to l...
The commercialization of micro and nanofluidic devices has had promise for providing novel solutions to deliver high throughput, more efficient, integrated biological and chemical analysis to...
Drug development is a costly and time consuming process, poor translation of data from pre-clinical studies to the clinic is a major contributor as late-stage drug failure is very expensive....
A hardware architecture was developed specifically to facilitate collaborative development and dissemination of microfluidic experiments. Modular pressure regulators, incubators, and chip-to-...

Bulk analysis often leads to conclusions that assume averages reflect the dominant biological mechanism operating within an entire population. To fully understand how cellular heterogeneity c...
With increasing emphasis on effective pain management in clinical care, there has been a significant increase in the number of opioid prescriptions in the past decade. While these drugs...
The talk will first report on a new patented method of counting CTCs based on the metabolism of tumor cells, that favors acidification of their near environment. In order to maintain the acid...
Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) are becoming a bigger and bigger concern throughout the world. Antibiotic resistance forms and spreads faster than pharmaceutical companies have been ab...
This presentation will be demonstrating several different approaches to explore the diversity, function, and ecology of microbial communities. In Metagenomics, the sequencing of DNA dir...
Virus Ecology is a field that is gaining momentum, fueled in part by metagenomic studies from many environments previously ignored. Biodiversity studies of plant viruses show that they...
The global trend towards industrialization and urbanization has led to ever more people living and working indoors. Some studies estimate that humans in industrialized countries spend as much...
