A Wide-angle Immersed MEMS Mirror and Its Application in Optical Coherence Tomography
Abstract: This talk introduces a MEMS mirror that can perform large angular scanning in a liquid. Wide-angle OCT imaging results with this submerged MEMS mirror will also be presented.

Abstract:
Opto-mechanical systems offer one of the most sensitive methods for detecting mechanical motion using shifts in the optical resonance frequency of the opto-mechanical resonator. Presently, these systems are used for measuring mechanical thermal noise displacement or mechanical motion actuated by optical forces. Meanwhile, electrostrictive and piezoelectric actuation and detection are the main transduction schemes used in RF MEMS resonators.
At this annual IMG Kickoff meeting, we to take stock of where we are at and where we are going as a group. We also provide important updates and reminders. This meeting is mandatory for all IMG members. Pizza will be served at 11:45am, and the meeting will begin promptly at 12:00pm. See you there!

Jinling Zhang
Isolation and enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood of cancer patients are potentially useful for detection, characterization, and monitoring of the disease and its subsequent treatment. We have developed microfluidic devices that are capable of efficiently isolating cancer cells from whole blood. The cell capture efficiency is about 90%. The method provides a convenient and cost-efficient alternative for CTCs isolation in clinic samples.
Simulation of the interactions between cancer cells and microfluidic devices
Kangfu Chen
Our interest is to explore the interaction between cancer cell and aptamer functionalized micropost based microfluidic device. We shows the distribution of captured cancer cells around different shaped microposts experimentally. As a comparison of the experiments, a theoretical model was set up. COMSOL was used to show the laminar flow in the microchannel of the device. Based on the flow data, we describe the motion of cancer cells in the micropost patterned microchannel. The interaction between cancer cells and micropost surface was simulated based on adhesive dynamics. Finally, we compare the simulation results with the experimental results.
