Microfluidics Congress: USA 2017

2nd Microfluidics Congress: USA Utilizing microfluidic technologies as a tool for progressing medical research Plus, workshops including: Microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies for commercial product development: strategies, technologies, markets and applications To foster a collegiate atmosphere and enable the widest possible attendance, the main conference program on July 25-26 , is free* to attend. You can also enhance your itinerary with paid for pre and post event workshops, suitable if you are seeking a deeper understanding of a specific issue. So, before the Microfluidics Congress: USA Holger Becker Co-Founder and CSO, microfluidic ChipShop GmbH, will lead a 4-hour workshop on Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) technologies as an enabling technology for new product development in diagnostics and the life sciences. Microfluidics is a rapidly developing area of research, and scientists are continually discovering the wide range of possibilities the technology can provide. At the intersection of engineering, physics, chemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, microfluidics is revolutionizing the way patients are diagnosed, monitored and treated,and is unlocking the potential for reduced reagent consumption and thus, cost. The conference will examine the latest developments in the technologies and techniques being used for progressing medical research, as well as the challenges and future of microfluidics. Some of the topics to be covered: Point-of-care diagnostics Organ-on-a-chip Droplet microfluidics Microfabrication Isolation and analysis of CTCs 3D printing of microfluidic devices Single-cell analysis Commercialization and venture capitalism
