We present an easy, durable method to generate a partially hydrophilic/hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic device. The functionality of this device was assessed in a double flow focusing design to fabricate core–shell structured poly(lac ...
Numerous analytical techniques for life sciences have been at the basis of the improvement of medical diagnostics and treatments. Current challenges in bioanalytics are related to the conception of methods enabling large amount of information to be extract ...
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an attractive model organism, owing notably to its short life cycle, genetic tractability, and optical transparency facilitating microscopic observation. This thesis deals with the realization of technological tools f ...
Caenorhabditis elegans is a performant model system for studying human biological processes and diseases and for pre-clinical phenotyping screenings of compounds. Microfluidics has been instrumental in enabling C. elegans-based drug assays, facilitating th ...
With the advent of high-throughput and genome-wide screening initiatives, there is a need for improved methods for cell-based assays. Current approaches require expensive equipment, rely on large-scale culturing formats not suited for small or rare sample ...
Monodisperse drops with diameters between 20 mu m and 200 mu m can be used to produce particles or capsules for many applications such as for cosmetics, food, and biotechnology. Drops composed of low viscosity fluids can be conveniently made using microflu ...
Mammalian synthetic biology could be augmented through the development of high-throughput microfluidic systems that integrate cellular transfection, culturing, and imaging. We created a microfluidic chip that cultures cells and implements 280 independent t ...
The research presented in this thesis is motivated by the aim to employ microfluidic devices for high-throughput analysis. Two applications, in particular, have been explored: diagnostics and environmental sensing. Miniaturization and multiplexing of labor ...
The Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is a widely used model for the functional analysis of dynamic cellular processes, such as chromosome segregation, cytokinesis or lineage analysis. However, the conventional embryo preparation method that relies on manually ...
