Jin Akagi receives the Best Student Paper Award at the MOEMS-MEMS SPIE Photonics West Conference 2013 in San Francisco

Jin Akagi, PhD student at the BioMEMS Research Group has just received the Best Student Paper Award at the MOEMS-MEMS SPIE Photonics Conference 2013. The prize was awarded for his recent paper “Dynamic analysis of angiogenesis in transgenic zebrafish embryos using a 3D multilayer chip-based technology”. It will be officially presented to Jin during the SPIE MOEMS-MEMS Plenary Session on 4th of February in San Francisco, USA. The prize is supported by Fraunhofer IPMS. Our sincere congratulations go to Jin for his great achievement!

In our newest work (Akagi J, Takeda K, Fujimura Y, Matuszek A, Khoshmanesh K, Wlodkowic D. Microflow cytometry in studies of programmed tumor cell death. Sensors and Actuators B Chemical 2012 in press) we demonstrate that advanced multiparameter assays to track the caspase-dependent tumor cell death can be rapidly performed using an innovative microfluidic flow cytometry (μFCM) system.

Just published: “DNA damage signaling assessed in individual cells in relation to the cell cycle phase…”

Our newest work (Darzynkiewicz Z, Zhao H, Halicka D, Rybak P, Dobrucki J and Wlodkowic D. DNA damage signaling assessed in individual cells in relation to the cell cycle phase and induction of apoptosis. Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 2012; Early Online: 1–19) outlines the progress in understanding and analysis of phosphorylation events reporting activation of protein kinases and the key substrates critical for the DNA damage signaling (DDS).
