Abstract

如：Our research focused areas are in mechanobiology of human diseases and development of mechanobiologically inspired technologies in microfluidics and wearable sensors to better detect, diagnose and treat diseases. In this lecture, I will showcase how we exploit our basic research outcomes in mechanobiology to develop devices such as the microfluidic cancer biochip to capture circulating tumor cells for liquid biopsy, wearable sensors to manage foot diabetic ulcers so as to prevent foot amputation for diabetics, as well as haptic glove for enabling physical touch for applications in the health metaverse. Our research collaborators involve engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, data scientists, clinicians as well as industrial partners to translate our research outcomes from the lab to the clinic and market.

我们的研究重点领域是人类疾病的力学生物学，以及开发受力学生物学启发的微流体和可穿戴传感器技术，以更好地检测、诊断和治疗疾病。在本次讲座中，我将展示我们如何利用我们在机力学物学方面的基础研究成果来开发技术，例如用于捕获循环肿瘤细胞进行液体活检的微流控癌症生物芯片、用于治疗足部糖尿病溃疡以防止糖尿病患者截肢的可穿戴传感器、以及触觉手套，用于为健康虚拟世界中的应用提供物理触摸。我们的研究合作者包括工程师、物理学家、化学家、生物学家、数据科学家、临床医生以及工业合作伙伴，将我们的研究成果从实验室转化为临床和市场。
