The Workshop on BioMEMS and Microfluidic Technologies, held at ODTÜ MEMS, brought together students from Turkey to discuss the latest advancements in the field. One of the presentations was delivered by Dr. Vania Silverio, who shared her team’s groundbreaking research on developing a standardized 96-well platform for investigating cell cultures in both static and dynamic flow environments.

Dr. Silverio’s presentation focused on the development of a novel microfluidic platform that allows researchers to study cell behavior in various environments with unprecedented precision. The platform, designed to accommodate 96 wells, enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple cell cultures in both static and dynamic flow conditions.

According to Dr. Silverio, this innovation has significant implications for a wide range of applications, including disease modeling, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. The ability to study cells in both static and dynamic environments will allow researchers to better understand the complex interactions between cells and their surroundings, ultimately leading to breakthroughs in our understanding of human health and disease.
