Abstract :

Tumor heterogeneity refers to biophysical and biochemical differences among individual tumor cells even from the same tumor portions. Currently, the bottlenecks for studying tumor heterogeneity are lack of effective tools for single-cell and small-population analysis. work on developing microfluidic platforms targeting tumor heterogeneity. Microfluidic platforms capable of high-throughput characterizing electrical, mechanical, proteomic and comprehensive properties of single tumor cells. Secondly, enabling high-throughput analysis of migration and invasion capabilities of small-population cells. Hopefully, the microfluidic tools developed in my group can contribute to our studies of tumor heterogeneity in the near future.
