Conferencia Prof Christopher Abell: Microdroplets and microencapsulation
Prof. Christopher Abell (Department of Chemistry - University of Cambridge)
Aula de Seminarios do CIQUS
12:15 h
The talk will describe the microfluidics microdroplets platform we have developed at Cambridge.
It will include:
- An introduction to microdroplets.
- Example applications in enyzmology and molecular biology.
- Developing a mass spectrometric interface.
- Using droplets for single cell analysis.

About Professor Abell
Chris Abell is the Professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. He leads a large multidisciplinary group interested in biological chemistry. His research is focused on using fragment-based methods in drug discovery and chemical biology. In 1999, he co-founded Astex, the world-leading company in fragment-based drug discovery. Chris also has research interests in developing microdroplets as a novel experimental platform (spin outs: Sphere Fluidics (2010) and Aqdot (2013)). Chris has published over 265 papers and is an inventor on numerous patents. He was a founding director of Cambridge Enterprise.
