New Microchip Technology for Medical Imaging Biomarkers of Disease

University of California - Los Angeles UCLA News (online), 15 Dec 2005 A collaboration between scientists at UCLA, Caltech, Stanford, Siemens and Fluidigm have developed a new technology using integrated microfluidics chips for simplifying, lowering the cost and diversifying the types of molecules used to image the biology of disease with the medical imaging technology, Positron Emission Tomography (PET). These molecules are used with PET to diagnostically search throughout the body to look for the molecular errors of disease and to guide the development of new molecular therapeutics. Read more
