Event: CityU’s innovative project on manipulation of hematopoietic cells fosters development of treatment for blood diseases
Date: 21 May 2014 (Wed)
Time: 11:00am
Venue: Room B 6605, 6/F, Blue Zone (near lift 3), Academic 1, CityU
Professor Dong Sun, Chair Professor and Acting Head of the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), led a cross-institute research team to develop an innovative cell manipulation and testing system by integrating technologies of robotics, optical tweezers and microfluidics.
The system can be used to probe the functional mechanism of hematopoietic cells, which can foster the development for the treatment of blood diseases.
Professor Sun has received funding of around HK$6 million from the Research Grant Council. He will introduce the details of the research at the media briefing, and a lab visit will be arranged right after the briefing.
