Pharmacologic agents are commonly used to treat psychiatric diseases. These compounds, however, react differently across patients, are often followed by negative side effects and can have varied efficacy timeframes.
Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
Stanford inventors have devised a method of multiplexing droplet reactions to analyze and identify many reactions in parallel on a single microfluidic chip using off-the-shelf flow control and valving.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a technology that uses biomechanical force to initiate T-cell triggering in a high throughput method, facilitating the exploration of the force- and sequence-dependent landscape of T-cell responses.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a magnetophoretic separation device (MSD) for isolating basophils and other rare cell types from a blood sample. The device applies exponentially increasing magnetic field strength to flowing magnetically tagged cells.
Researchers at Stanford and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub have developed a platform for characterizing a population of microbes using spectrally encoded beads.
Researchers at Stanford, funded in part by the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, have generated a method for performing multi-parametric and high-throughput single cell genomic and phenotypic analyses.
Running chemotherapeutic drug screens on tumor biopsies ex vivo has the potential to increase patient survival by personally matching them to the drug which is the most effective against their particular tumor.
Engineers in Prof. Amin Arababian's laboratory have developed a microfluidics system for ultra high-throughput, low-cost, label-free cell detection in liquid biopsies, fetal cell analysis and other applications.
Researchers at Stanford have invented a platform to manipulate droplets in a synchronized manner. Magnetic fields combined with patterned soft magnet arrays on a substrate, provide a clocking signal to the magnetic droplets.
Researchers at Stanford have developed the paperfuge- an ultra-low cost (20 cents), light weight (2g) field portable centrifuge (125,000 rpm; 30,000 g RCF) made out of paper that runs on human power.
