Abstract: Microfluidics is a field having a rapid growth, indeed since its dawn microfluidics applications became more and more relevant in life sciences. The reason for this success is due to the unique chemical and physical features that occur in fluids at the micron size, which allow to have several advantages over conventional “macro”-techniques. Furthermore, microfluidics devices are in general easy to use and to manufacture and yet, cost effective.Substantial evidence shows that the heterogeneity of individual cells within a genetically identical population can be critical to their chance of survival. Methods that use average responses from a population often mask the difference from individual cells. To fully understand cell-to-cell variability, a complete analysis of an individual cell, from its live state to cell lysates, is essential. Highly sensitive detection of multiple components and high throughput analysis of a large number of individual cells remain the key challenges to realise this aim. Microfluidicstechnology haS emerged as the most promising avenue to address these challenges. Here this talk will focus on the high throughput microfluidic chips to capture an individual live cell and to realize the analysis of its gene and proteins. The speaker also will discuss the opportunities that microfluidic based single cell analysis can bring into the drug discovery process. |
