We designed a new way to build miniature fluidic devices to enable personalized cancer treatment
There is no âone-size-fits-allâ treatment for patients living with cancer. Cancer occurs when normal cells in the body genetically mutate and transform into abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably.

How Gloria Steinem shaped â and sometimes over-shadowed â global feminism
