End-to-End 3D Cell Culture and Assay Automation with using Pu·MA System EC
This webinar was presented on March 29, 2023
Webinar Summary
3D cell models such as organoids and patient-derived tumor models are important for oncology research. They bring value to fields like drug discovery and immuno-oncology, where animal research is not accurately representative of human diseases. Handling these precious 3D cell samples with care and precision during assay steps is important for discovery.
In this webinar, we present our novel end-to-end automated workflow for phenotypic profiling of 3D models using microfluidic flowchips and the new Pu·MA System EC (Environmental Control). The Pu·MA System EC can precisely control temperature carbon dioxide levels and maintain high relative humidity in the flowchip chamber. This system enables generation of 3D cell models combined with automated 3D cell-based assays.
Presenters
Katya Nikolov, MD (Protein Fluidics, Inc.)
Senior Application Scientist
Dr. Nikolov is a Physician-Scientist with 10+ years of academic and industrial experience in cancer biology and cell imaging. Her background has been in solid tumor models, tumor micro-environment and immunotherapy. In her previous experience she led the development of 3D micro-tumor assay from biopsies to predict patients’ response to therapy to improve outcomes. Her experience includes T-cell based platform for drug screens in senescence research. In her current role at Protein Fluidics, Dr. Nikolov leads the projects on 3D cell-based assay development and assay optimization. Her work involves innovating 3D cell-based applications with the Pu·MA System, in depth high-content imaging and metabolomic analyses.
