Cell cultures, by definition, inhabit the unsteady ground between tight, 
reproducible experimental control and the ability to simulate the 
complex and dynamic environments found /in vivo/. This webcast reveals 
how pioneering microfluidic technology enables the precise manipulation 
of physiologically relevant micro-environments, helping researchers 
connect cellular mechanisms with phenotypes and disease states.

Microfluidic cell culture chambers allow crucial parameters such as 
media flow, temperature and gas environment to be automated. This 
enables researchers to recreate the mass transport environment of 
tissues, elicit cell responses to dynamic solution changes and enable 
long-term perfusion culture – a real-time, live cell analysis with 
unprecedented control.

The first speaker, Dr. Andrew Ball, will review a specific workflow 
involving microfluidic chambers used with a fluorescent microscope and 
image analysis software, to provide insights for live cell dynamic 
applications such as host-pathogen interactions, cancer cell autophagy, 
and cell migration in a standardized format.

Then, Dr. KC Huang, will discuss how specific microfluidic techniques 
have allowed him to study damped oscillations of bacterial growth in 
response to osmotic shock. Dr. Huang will describe the advantages of 
real-time, live cell analysis in a microfluidic context.

In this webcast you learn:
• The advantages and challenges of using microfludic cell culture tools 
in cell biology
• Techniques that can be used to develop and quantify/in vitro/ cell 
models for predictive cell analysis.
