A microfluidic platform for drug screening in a 3D cancer microenvironment
Biosensors And Bioelectronics
Development of resistance to chemotherapy treatments is a major challenge in the battle against cancer. Although a vast repertoire of chemotherapeutics is currently available for treating cancer, a technique for rapidly identifying the right drug based on the chemo-resistivity of the cancer cells is not available and it currently takes weeks to months to evaluate the response of cancer patients to a drug. A sensitive, low-cost diagnostic assay capable of rapidly evaluating the effect of a…
Development of resistance to chemotherapy treatments is a major challenge in the battle against cancer. Although a vast repertoire of chemotherapeutics is currently available for treating cancer, a technique for rapidly identifying the right drug based on the chemo-resistivity of the cancer cells is not available and it currently takes weeks to months to evaluate the response of cancer patients to a drug. A sensitive, low-cost diagnostic assay capable of rapidly evaluating the effect of a series of drugs on cancer cells can significantly change the paradigm in cancer treatment management. Integration of microfluidics and electrical sensing modality in a 3D tumour microenvironment may provide a powerful platform to tackle this issue. Here, we report a 3D microfluidic platform that could be potentially used for a real-time deterministic analysis of the success rate of a chemotherapeutic drug in less than 12 h. The platform is integrated with the microsensors (interdigitated) gold electrodes with width and spacing 10 µm) that can measure the change in the electrical response of cancer cells seeded in a 3D extra cellular matrix when a chemotherapeutic drug is flown next to the matrix.

Paper microchip with a graphene-modified silver nano-composite electrode for electrical sensing of microbial pathogens
Nanoscale
Rapid and sensitive point-of-care diagnostics are of paramount importance for early detection of infectious diseases and timely initiation of treatment. Here, we present cellulose paper and flexible plastic chips with printed graphene-modified silver electrodes as universal point-of-care diagnostic tools for the rapid and sensitive detection of microbial pathogens or nucleic acids through utilizing electrical sensing modality and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).

Manipulation and Sorting of Cell-Laden Hydrogel Microcapsules Within Microfluidic Environment
-
Encapsulating cells within semi-permeable hydrogel material has been shown to boost the therapeutic effectiveness of stem cell therapy in certain applications. Cell encapsulation promotes high retention and engraftment rates, and protects against attack from the immune system of the host, as these are challenges often seen in utilizing stem cells in suspension alone. Leveraging droplet-based microfluidics has yielded a platform capable of producing monodispersed microcapsules embedded with…
Encapsulating cells within semi-permeable hydrogel material has been shown to boost the therapeutic effectiveness of stem cell therapy in certain applications. Cell encapsulation promotes high retention and engraftment rates, and protects against attack from the immune system of the host, as these are challenges often seen in utilizing stem cells in suspension alone. Leveraging droplet-based microfluidics has yielded a platform capable of producing monodispersed microcapsules embedded with cells at high throughput, typically achieved by mixing an aqueous hydrogel solution that contains cells with an immiscible liquid (oil) in a flow focusing geometry. However, encapsulation using microfluidics results in randomized generation of empty and cell-laden microcapsules, following Poisson statistics, raising the need to institute a successful sorting mechanism, thereby increasing occupancy and ultimately purifying the desired sample. In this thesis we propose a sorting strategy by combining two conceptual mechanisms of electrophoresis (EP) and deterministic lateral displacement (DLD). Different varieties of microcapsules were characterized for EP and DLD respectively. Leveraging these differences was used in a device combining both of the concepts towards sorting of empty and cell-laden microcapsules.
