To better study circulating tumor cells, the researchers collaborated with physician - scientists and industry engineers to develop a microfluidics system that separates these large cells into a concentrated sample.

Large - scale and effective studies of biological molecules with a different structural basis such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids and numerous metabolites (including e.g. fatty acids, amino acids, purines, pyrimidines or steroids) is currently highly attractive because of the availability of modern instruments and tools for both separation and analysis (2 - D chromatographs, capillary electrophoresis systems, microfluidics, mass spectrometers, powerful NMR spectrometers, DNA / RNA arrays and others).

As outlined below, we used a microfluidic quantitative PCR (qPCR) system to elucidate the gene expression profiles of individual human oocytes and small numbers of cumulus cells using a combination of a large number of samples and targets [12], and then extended our studies via the use of parthenogenesis, in conjunction with gene expression profiling, as a functional assay of cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes.

For studies at the molecular level, Ismagilov will develop microfluidic systems capable of rapidly generating, manipulating and assaying protein aggregates of various sizes, shapes and compositions.

More recently, Professor Bargmann has taken chemotaxis studies to new levels with the development of an easy to replicate microfluidic system with which to quantify movement in both time and space in response to attractive odors.

The approaches combine theoretical studies — including statistical physics of non-equilibrium systems — and a variety of experimental techniques such as optical and electron microscopy, as well as microfluidics and micropatterning, optogenetics, or mechanical micromanipulation using optical or magnetic tweezers.
