Integration of a Novel Biomembrane into a Lung-on-a-Chip Microfluidic Test-Platform

Jeff Jessing, Fort Lewis College
The Lung-on-a-Chip team at Fort Lewis College developed a novel fabrication method to produce a viable porous silicon biomembrane that mimics the functionality of the human interstitial space that separates the alveolar cells and the capillary cells where the gas exchange occurs in the lungs.

An Optical/Electrical System for Micro Droplet Screening

Yiyan Li, Fort Lewis College
The undergraduate researchers at Fort Lewis College developed an optical system to quantify single bacterium from environmental water samples. To improve signal detection in their system, they developed a neural network, a method in artificial intelligence.
