I have worked in the Langer Lab for almost 2 semesters. I am working on a time released drug delivery system for drugs that promote nuron differentiation. I have applied a variety of different lipid encapsulated drugs to PC12 (mammalian) cells, monitored them for 4-8 days and analyzed the changes in differentiation between the different methods using fluorescent microscopy. I optimized the plating process.
This summer I worked on a microfluidic device for monitoring blood clotting in the Prof Craig Forest lab at Georgia Institute of Technology through the NNIN REU (a nanotechnology REU). The device worked by shining laser light through a restricted region which promoted clotting, as the clot formed more laser light transmission was observed and measured by a CCD. In order to correlate the changing laser light transmission to an actual clot volume, I calculated the final clot volume in the device. I used a combination of brightfield and confocal images to get a final volume of around 30 nL. i wrote a custom matlab script to process the confocal images and calculate a density from each z stack.
