Sub-group meeting:

Wongu:

Did an excellent lecture and Journal club regarding miscroscale high throughput electroporation. He gave reviews on the basics of electroporation based on his previous work. Highlight the significance of microscale electroporation especially his invented micro-capillary electroporation technology. He also gave a good review on the latest lab on a chip paper regarding the synergy from electroporation and microwell array as a high-throughput transfection system.

Jiankang:

Review his recent progress on the microfluidic-based generation of composite material with cross-gradient. The paper is well-defined with most of the optimization and simulation data done. The next stage is to finish the material characterization data and cell data. The paper writing will also be started soon.

Matt:

Present the simulation for Jiankang’s cross-gradient work. He nicely predicted the cross-gradient length and came out with idea of window to account for the definite length of the microfluidic channel.

Due to the time limitation (for Amir’s farewell party), some other team member will present in the next group meeting.

Joe, Yun-Ho, Hao, Hiro, Masoud will present their working progress next time. Woo Young will present journal club.
