Accessible Pressure-Driven Microfluidic Sorting of Deformable Particles for Biomedical Research
This project focuses on developing a pressure-driven microfluidic system capable of separating cells or cell-like particles based on their mechanical properties, without the use of chemical labels. By combining controlled fluid flow with digital image analysis, the system will quantify particle deformation and sorting behavior under well-defined conditions. The project aims to improve the robustness and real-time performance of deformability-based microfluidic sorting, supporting biomedical research on heterogeneous cell populations and applications such as cancer diagnostics.
