Cancer diagnosis and treatment are often hindered by the complexity of tumor heterogeneity.  Here, we developed a microfluidic biochip that is able to select any circulating tumor cell(s) of interest for downstream molecular analysis to probe their heterogeneity so as to obtain patient derived information for the personalized treatment of cancer patients.
