Cell morphology plays an important role in maintaining normal cellular functions. Existing techniques for cell morphology measurement, such as confocal imaging and atomic force microscopy, have the limitations of photobleaching and incompatibility for integration with other cell manipulation instrum
Mechanical force is an integral part of tissue morphogenesis and patterning. We have developed an automated micro-aspiration system to investigate how mouse limb bud tissue responds to extrinsic forces in order to understand whether tissue-generated forces can be a part of the mechanism causing orie…
This paper reports the first robotic system for vitrification of mammalian embryos. Vitrification is a technique for preserving oocytes and embryos in clinical IVF (in vitro fertilization). The procedure involves multiple steps of stringently timed pick-and-place operation for processing an oocyte/e…
