Miniaturizing Life: Microfluidics and Microfabrication Facility
Cell and tissue culture has played an important role in life science research. However, cells in culture behave quite differently from cells in vivo, and the knowledge gained from these cannot be directly extrapolated to cells in the context of an organism. There is a great interest in the scientific community to generate devices that can control the microenvironments of cells in culture.
