Microfluidics is a technology that manipulates microscale fluid flow through microchannels. Due to its precise controllability and easy accessibility, microfluidic technology provides new ways to create an actual living organism-like environment in microscale. My research applies the microfluidics to exploring the biophysical mechanisms as the engineered platform, in particular, cancer progression. An actual tumor microenvironment is highly complex comprising multiple extracellular compartments and various types of cells. The complexity has been a critical barrier to elucidate important biological implications. In this talk, I will introduce the development of the engineered microenvironment using microfluidics and how the engineered platform is applied to study the impact of the complexity and heterogeneity from sing cell- to tissue-level. In addition, I will talk about graduate life at Purdue University. It will be a great opportunity to share my experience of working, studying, and living abroad as a woman in mechanical engineering.
