merging multichannel microfluidic pumps and valves, sensors, mass spectrometry, mathematical models, and AI to create Continuous Automated Perfusion Culture Analysis Systems (CAPCAS) that operate as parallel self-driving biological laboratories for microbial and mammalian cells.
I'm looking for
2 months ago
researchers and sponsors who need fluidic control systems for individually formulated, intermittent, continuous, or circadian perfusion of 2D and 3D cell cultures, including microphysiological systems and organoids or suspended cell cultures in 24, 48, or 96 well plates.
About
I have extensive experience in biosystems science and engineering, biological physics, systems biology, biomedical engineering, cellular instrumentation and control, microfabrication, microfluidics, organs-on-chips, automated biology, cardiac and neural electrophysiology, electromagnetism, and SQUID magnetometry. My career has been directed towards the creation of new instruments and techniques for measurements on biological systems, using these to make previously impossible observations, and interpreting the data with both forward and inverse mathematical models, today termed digital twins. My training and experience in theoretical and experimental physics, biomedical engineering, and physiology allows me to forge previously unforeseen connections between apparently disparate disciplines.
