Andrew J deMello,
Professor of Biochemical Engineering & Institute Chair,
ETH Zürich
Andrew is currently Professor of Biochemical Engineering in the Department of Chemistry & Applied Biosciences at ETH Zürich, and until October 2020 was Head of the Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering. Prior to his arrival in Zurich, he was Professor of Chemical Nanosciences and Head of the Nanostructured Materials and Devices Section in the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London. His research interests cover a broad range of activities in the broad areas of microfluidics and nanoscale science. Primary specializations include the development of microfluidic devices for high-throughput biological and chemical analysis, ultra-sensitive optical spectroscopies, microfluidic tools for material synthesis and clinical diagnostic technologies.

Imaging flow cytometry (IFC) marries the advantages of optical microscopy and flow cytometry to enable the high-throughput imaging of cells within flowing environments. I will describe how we have leveraged the capabilities of simple microfluidic systems to form novel platforms able to manipulate, process and assay cells in a controlled and high-throughput manner. Using inertial and viscoelastic effects, these systems can operate at throughputs exceeding 400,000 cells/s, extract fluorescence, brightfield, and darkfield images and are capable of multi-parametric quantification and sub-cellular localization of structures down to 500 nm. Additionally, I will describe more recent activities in which similar viscoelastic microfluidic platforms are used to measure the mechanical properties of cells at high-throughput and also isolate and analyse CTCs and extracellular vesicles in a rapid and efficient manner.
