Abstract:
Covid-19 has shown us that individuals are affected very differently by the disease. Now more than ever the healthcare industry is transitioning towards personalized medicine. In this talk we will show how cutting-edge technology can be used to understand how such complex diseases differ at the single-cell level. We combine three core technologies, artificial intelligence, microfluidics and optical manipulation to create an automated and user-friendly tool for researchers across various disciplines.
Learning outcomes:
