Hang Lu (left), an assistant professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech, and graduate student Alison Paul test microfluidic devices they've developed to stimulate and break open T-cells to dynamically analyze their properties. By measuring molecules downstream from the T-cells in a high-throughput manner, they can build mathematical models to assess the quality of the T-cell population before infusing the cells into the patient. That could potentially improve the therapeutic outcome of a new cancer therapy called adoptive transfer of T-cells. Credit: Georgia Tech photo by Gary Meek
