How Would You Build a Machine that Sorts Cells? - Livestream

The session will begin with a discussion of why investigators need to characterize the properties of cells and sort them, and how this is relevant to treating disease. We will then look at a LEGO model of a “cell sorter” that utilizes motors and sensors to sort colored marbles. Lastly, we will observe a real cell sorter in action -- sorting mouse blood cells -- and discuss its similarities and differences compared with the LEGO model.
