Congratulations to Chris Yankaskas, Kostas Konstantopoulos, and all of my co-authors on the publication of a study in Nature Biomedical Engineering showing that a microfluidic chip can be used to predict the metastatic propensity of a breast cancer cell sample! The study presents an elegant use of our patented microfluidic migration chip to offer a prediction about whether a population of cancer cells is likely to metastasize and characterize the properties of this highly metastatic subpopulation. Read a commentary about the study here.

My postdoctoral advisor, Dr. Kandice Tanner, was recently interviewed by Physics Today about her career path and research. She is a fantastic scientist and mentor, and it is worth a read! Find it here. Her research (and one of our images of cancer cells metastasizing in zebrafish) was also featured in an article in Physics Today about physical and mathematical approaches to study cancer.
