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.

Image Guided Surgery for Tumor Resection

A simulation of how surgeons find cancerous tissue during an operation. One glass bead is marked with a transparent fluorescent pen, mixed in with others, and picked out under a black lamp in a dark room. It introduces fluorescence and how it is used to label cells and image tumors.

Dye Encapsulation within Alginate Beads

An introduction to hydrogels and drug delivery. Drops of alginate solution with food coloring in it form beads in a calcium chloride solution. Moving the beads to clean water shows the color coming out slowly, standing in for the controlled release of a medicine. The ingredients are food grade.
