"Microfluidic System for Simultaneous Optical Measurement of Platelet Aggregation at Multiple Shear Rates in Whole Blood"
Thrombosis is the pathological formation of platelet aggregates which cause stroke or heart attack. We report on the design, fabrication, testing, and application of a microfluidic device and associated optical system for optimizing efficacy of anti-platelet therapies for thrombosis prevention and treatment using simultaneous measurement of platelet aggregation at multiple initial shear rates in label free whole blood.

"Evaluation of Intra-Articular Therapeutic Delivery Strategies for Osteoarthritis using Contrast Based CT Imaging"
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects nearly 27 million people in the US alone. The objective of this proposal is to examine two distinct intra-articular treatment strategies for OA in a rat joint degeneration model using equilibrium ionic contrast agent based micro-CT (EPIC-µCT).
Summary
The Graduate and Post-Doc (GaP) Seminar Series is a weekly event of research presentations by two graduate students or post-docs conducting bio-related research. The series is organized and sponsored by the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) with additional support from the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. It is held every Wednesday at 12:00pm in IBB 1128 and refreshments are provided. If your research group or department would like to present at future seminars, please contact Manu Platt, PhD.
