Confining Single Cells to Enhance and Target Cultivation
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding the human microbiome is critical in maintaining human health and preventing disease, but it has been unclear how specific microbes affect health and disease because the majority of microbes cannot be cultivated using traditional methods. Technologies are needed that can both increase the success rate for cultivating microbes and target cultivation efforts towards microbes of high biomedical interest. This project will use microfluidic confinement to overcome the limitations of traditional cultivation and targeting methods by developing single cell confinement technology. S...
