Polly Fordyce was recently named a 2017 Scialog Fellow for Molecules Come to Life. It is a two-year program jointly sponsored by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
Congratulations, Polly!
Bianca Cruz joins the lab for the summer!
Bianca Cruz is an undergraduate at Cal Poly Pomona studying Physics. She work in a photonics lab at Cal Poly which develops fiber-optic biosensors aimed for clinical applications.
Polly, Kara & Craig attend the GRC Microfluidic Conference in Italy
Graduate Student Kara Brower, Postdoctoral Fellow Craig Markin, and Polly Fordyce attended the Gordon Research Microfluidics Conference in Barga, Italy!
Craig and Kara presented posters at the meeting on their work, and Kara was awarded best poster!
Congratulations!
Kara's paper describing an open-source pneumatics build for microfluidic control is posted on bioRXiv!
Kara's manuscript provides detailed parts lists, freely downloadable design files, and exhaustive step-by-step instructions (literally hundreds of photos!) for building an open-source pneumatics setup to control multi-layer microfluidic devices. You can find it all here:
