Computational design and engineering of fluid flow in 3D printed microfluidic lab-on-chips KU Leuven
Early detection of diseases is crucial to effectively treat a patient and to improve the treatment outcome. However, diagnostic analyses are mostly performed in centralized facilities, hindering timely disease identification and the subsequent start of treatment. This is especially true in developing countries where few analytical laboratories are present which are often difficult to reach for most patients. For these reasons, healthcare ...

A LAB-ON-A-CHIP DEVICE FOR PURE CIRCULATING TUMOR CELL ISOLATION FROM WHOLE BLOOD FOR CANCER THERAPY (pureCTC) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
CTCs are rare cells that originate from tumors, and which travel in the human circulatory system to eventually spread the disease to other organs. Consequently, analysis of CTCs is crucial for ...
Development of a self-powered microfluidic platform for lab-on-a-chip applications KU Leuven
With the constant world population growth and ageing, several medical conditions are becoming a burden both in terms of deaths and cost for the health care system. For this reason, research institutions and biopharma companies all over the world are developing new diagnostic tools which allow early detection of many medical conditions, from cancer to infectious diseases, and monitoring of chronical pathologies. In fact, a timely diagnose is ...
LOCEM: Lab-on-a-chip for cryo-EM Ghent University
General purpose. The overall goal of this project is to develop an optimized prototype of the total lab-on-a-chip for cryo- EM solution: cryo-EM affinity grid plus microfluidic chip. Specifically, a microfluidic chip is being developed which it purification of bioparticles (i.e. proteins) and then loading a cryo-EM affinity grid.
Concrete goals and criteria.
-Optimizing and integrating different microfluidic biomolecule ...
