Microfluidic platforms for high-throughput mammalian cell printing, transfection, and dosage-dependent studies

Kristina Pan Woodruff

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 ...

Microfluidic systems for high-throughput and high-content screening using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia

In a typical high-throughput drug screening (HTS) process, up to millions of chemical compounds are applied to cells cultured in well plates, aiming to find molecules that exhibit a robust dose-response, as evidenced for example by a fluorescence signal. I ...

High-throughput microfluidic platforms applied to immunoassay-based diagnostics and environmental monitoring

Francesca Volpetti

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 ...

Memristive Aptasensors for Theranostics

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Ioulia Tzouvadaki, Nima Aliakbarinodehi

A new application in the nano-biosensing field gives proof that the coupling of nanofabricated wires exhibiting mem- ristive electrical characteristics and DNA-aptamers, may provide definitely innovative nano-bio-sensors for ultrasensitive label-free detec ...

Nanoscale Sensors for Ultrasensitive Label-free Detection of Cancer Biomarkers and Monitoring of Therapeutic Compounds

Ioulia Tzouvadaki

Prostate cancer is a life-threatening malignant disease, one the most common cancer types in men and leading cause of death among men because of cancer. Considering the state of the art for the diagnosis of prostate cancer a man overall has to suffer uncom ...

Micro- and nanoscale hierarchical structure of core-shell protein microgels

Giovanni Dietler, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Raffaele Mezzenga

Protein nanofibrils were first discovered in the context of misfolding and neurodegenerative diseases but have recently been found in naturally occurring functional materials including algal adhesives, bacterial coatings, and even mammalian melanosomes. Th ...

Exploring Ligand Affinities for Proteins by NMR of Long-Lived States

Roberto Buratto

The detection of molecules that can bind to active sites of protein targets and the measurement of their affinities is a promising application of NMR. Nowadays, the screening of drug candidates is routinely done by NMR in pharmaceutical industry. We have p ...
