32nd iCeMS Seminar: Dr. Ken-ichiro Kamei

Dr. Kamei and his colleagues developed Microfluidic Image Cytometry (MIC) Technology, a multiparametric quantitative cell-based assay based on microfluidic technology. This technology allows quantifying molecular expression/localization and cellular features in individual cells with the advantages of small sample/reagent usage, scalability and precise fluidic delivery. Thus, MIC technology can provide a powerful tool for acquiring a better understanding in the key mechanisms of cell behavior.

In this seminar, Dr. Kamei will introduce a MIC technology for (i) quantitative phenotyping and cell signaling analysis of hPSC self-renewal and differentiation, and (ii) quantitative molecular diagnosis of glioblastoma patients.
