Microfluidics is a rapidly developing area of research, and scientists are continually discovering the wide range of possibilities the technology can provide. At the intersection of engineering, physics, chemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, microfluidics is revolutionizing the way patients are diagnosed, monitored and treated,and is unlocking the potential for reduced reagent consumption and thus, cost.
The conference will examine the latest developments in the technologies and techniques being used for progressing medical research, as well as the challenges and future of microfluidics.
Some of the topics to be covered:
Point-of-care diagnostics
Organ-on-a-chip
Droplet microfluidics
Microfabrication
Isolation and analysis of CTCs
3D printing of microfluidic devices
Single-cell analysis
Commercialization and venture capitalism
