DESCRIPTION:This week\, the speakers for the IMG Seminar are:\nMark Yanchis
 in (EH&S) on Non-traditional safety\nKangfu Chen (Dr. Fan's group) on A fi
 lter array regulated microflow (FARM) chip for circulating tumor cell isol
 ation \n\n\nA filter array regulated microflow (FARM) chip for circulating
  tumor cell isolation . Circulating tumor cells (CTC) are cancer cells in 
 the circulating system shredded from the primary tumor. CTCs have been con
 sidered as important biomarkers for early detection of metastasis\, therap
 y monitoring and disease prognosis. However\, the rarity of CTCs in the bl
 ood (tens of CTCs per mL blood) remains a technological barricade. We deve
 loped a Filter Array Regulated Microflow (FARM) chip combing filtration an
 d immunoaffinity based CTC capture. The FARM chip is able to isolate CTCs 
 with low deformability or high antibody expression level. Even more deform
 able CTCs with lower antibody expression are likely to be captured if the 
 two components combination exceeds the CTC capture threshold. Overall\, th
 is method is capable of isolating\, detecting and enumerating CTCs with hi
 gh throughput and superb efficiency. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date: \n\nFriday\,
