DESCRIPTION:Francis Lin from the University of Manitoba.\n\nHost: Mingming 
 Wu.\n\nTitle: Studying Cell Migration in Chemical and Electrical Guiding E
 nvironments Using Microfluidic Devices.\n\nAbstract: Cell migration underl
 ies many physiological processes ranging from immune response to wound hea
 ling and to cancer invasion. Diverse environmental factors such as chemica
 l gradients and electric fields can guide the migration and trafficking of
  various cell types in tissues. Rapid development of microfluidics provide
 s powerful quantitative test bed for cell migration analysis in controlled
  cellular microenvironments. Toward this direction\, we focus on using mic
 rofluidic devices to study chemotactic and electrotactic migration of diff
 erent cell types. In this talk\, I will first provide relevant background 
 for this research field followed by an overview of my research program. Th
 en I will focus on introducing our electrotaxis studies including 1) lymph
 ocyte electrotaxis analysis in vitro and in vivo\; 2) experimental and mod
 eling studies of immune cell migration in competing chemical gradient and 
 electric field\; 3) electrotaxis analysis of cancer cells and stem cells.\
