ABSTRACT: Abstract: In the development of medicine, microfluidic devices such as lab on a chip, single cell analysis device, body on a chip are powerful tools and mainly focus on human cells. Although studies of virus & bacteria and tissue are also important, microfluidic devices for virus & bacteria and tissues are limited due to the resolution of optical microscope and the scale differences. In this talk, I share our results of microfluidic device for virus & bacteria, and tissue. In the case of virus & bacteria, MEMS liquid cell for in-liquid SEM and microfluidic device for bacterial experimental evolution will be presented. In the case of tissues, fluidic device for perfusion culture of cancer tissue and organotypic small intestinal fluidic channel will be presented.
