The Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory, directed by
Professor
Brian Kirby, is a research group in the
Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
at Cornell University devoted to research on understanding and application of
micro- and nanofluidic systems. Micro-and Nanofluidics describe
fluidic regimes defined by the length scale
of the flow channels, the techniques for making the devices,
and the dominant physics.
A circulating tumor cell captured from the peripheral blood of a
castrate-resistant prostate cancer patient, using geometrically enhanced differential immunocapture.
Growth of HUVECs in media conditioned by fibroblasts grown on compliant (left) and stiff (right)
photocrosslinked alginate adherent matrices developed in collaboration with
Larry Bonassar's lab
(see refs
here
and
here
) as well as
Claudia Fischbach's lab. Results
(see ref here) show that growth in stiffer
matrices leads to secretion of angiongenic factors.
