Funded Activity Summary
Microfluidic platforms for studying foam cell formation in vessels . This project aims to create technology platforms, utilising microfluidics and machine learning, to study the fundamental biological processes underlying the accumulation of immune cells underneath the vessel wall, which is known as foam cell formation. This project expects to deliver technologies, which facilitate mimicking and analysis of the complex dynamics of the human vessels in a more accurate, time- and cost-effective manner. The expected outcome will be cutting-edge tools and techniques to better understand the fundamental biological mechanisms driving foam cell formation. This should facilitate the development of future cardiovascular drug discovery technologies, which would benefit the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.Funded Activity Details
