A platform to study platelet aggregation and thrombus growth based on dynamic stress
1: School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC 3001, Australia; 2: School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, The University of New South Wales UNSW, Sydne

We present a microfluidic device that is able to trigger initial recruitment and subsequent aggregation of discoid platelets by mimicking the effects of pathological changes in blood vessel geometry.

Sub-classification of colorectal cancer using surface antigen antibody microarray and fluorescence multiplexing
THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY SCHOOL OF MOLECULAR BIOSCIENCES

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most frequent cause of cancer deaths in Australia. Even after resection up to 50% of patients relapse. In an attempt to prevent recurrences chemotherapy is administered to high risk patients. However, as few as 10-20% patients genuinely benefit because the clinical course for individuals with CRC remains difficult to predict, largely due to prognostically heterogeneous groups within same-stage tumour categories.

Development of a Fully Integrated Microfluidic Device for Electromodulated Liquid Chromatography with C4D Detection
Sensors and Separations Group, National Centre for Sensor Research, School of Chemical Sciences

Applications for microfluidic technologies in life science are expanding rapidly, and have the potential to impact enormously across a range of
fields, from cell manipulation to separation science. In separation science their small channel dimensions make them ideal for high throughput
separations, reducing sample volumes and solvent consumption.
