A Virginia Tech professor and his team of researchers have created new technology to help in understanding how the human body battles diseases. Left to right, Bohan Zhu, Yuan-Pang Hsieh, and Chang Lu.
Chang Lu, the Fred W. Bull Professor of Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech and Center for Engineered Health faculty, along with his doctoral students Bohan Zhu and Yuan-Pang Hsieh, describe a microfluidic technology they are using to study a variety of diseases ranging from breast and brain cancer to schizophrenia and addiction.
The new technology developed , utilizes the low input sequencing method, MOWChIP-seq, previously developed by Lu and published in a Nature Methods paper in 2015.
Their most recent technology and results has been published in a article in Nature Protocols.
