Core Research

We are designing and microfabricating integrated modules for depleting red blood cells and platelet populations, sorting leukocytes into homogenous phenotypes, and interrogating cells based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics for applications in infectious diseases, trauma, and immunoinflammatory processes.

In addition, we are exploring strategies based on functional genomics tools that combine GFP reporter technology and microfabrication techniques for the profiling of dynamic gene expression in living cell arrays. By using specific liver tissue engineering methods we are developing microfabricated in vitro systems that mimic the in vivo organization of the liver acinus for investigating the dynamic sequence of expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators following ischemia reperfusion of transplanted livers .
