Crump Researchers among Scientists that Developed a New Microchip Technology for Medical Imaging
A collaboration among scientists at UCLA, the California Institute of Technology, Stanford, Siemens and Fluidigm has developed a new technology using integrated microfluidic chips for simplifying, lowering the cost and diversifying the types of molecules used to image the biology of disease with the medical imaging technology, positron emission tomography (PET). These molecules are used with PET to search diagnostically throughout the body to look for, or image, the molecular errors of disease and to guide the development of new molecular therapeutics. Published in the journal Science (December 16, 2005).
