Microfluidic systems redefined biology by providing platforms that handle small fluid volumes, catalyzing advancements in cellular and molecular studies.
Researchers developed a “test tube” so tiny that it can hold a single cell. These vials enabled them to connect protein secretion levels with surface markers and transcriptome data from the same cell.
An open mind and collaborative spirit have taken Hans Clevers on a journey from medicine to developmental biology, gastroenterology, cancer, and stem cells.
