Topic: MEMS Enabled Liquid Biopsy
Speaker: Prof. Wei Wang Abstract: Liquid biopsy, an important enabling technology for early diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of cancer, has drawn extensive attention in the past decade. With the rapid developments of Microelectromechanical System (MEMS), it has been possible to manipulate cells at single cell level, which dramatically improves the liquid biopsy capability. As the MEMS enabled liquid biopsy matures from proof-of-concept demonstrations towards practical applications, a main challenge it is facing now is to perform clinical samples which are usually of a large volume while having very rare targeted cells in complex backgrounds. This tutorial will give a comprehensive review of the recent progress of MEMS enabled liquid biopsy.Biography: Prof. Wei Wang is the deputy dean of School of Integrated Circuits, Peking University and the director of the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Micro and Nano Manufacture Technology. He received his B.S. in Thermal engineering from University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST, 1999) and the Ph.D. in Thermal Engineering from Tsinghua University (2005). He was a Visiting Professor in UC Davis (with Prof. Tingrui Pan) from 2007-2008 and Caltech (with Prof. YC Tai) from 2014-2015. His research focus is polymer micro/nanofabrication, Micro/nanosystem, and thermal management. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, delivered 50 presentations all over the world, and issued 30 patents. He is the Associated Editor of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, Microsystems & Nanoengineering, and has served/ is serving on organizing committees for several international conferences, including IEEE MEMS’2015 and ‘2016, Transducers’2019, and 2021 etc. |
