Overview

Welcome to the SelectBIO Innovations in Microfluidics 2023 Conference being held May 4-5, 2023 in Seattle.

This conference is part of a 2-track event with the companion track being co-located and being held concurrently, entitled Innovations in Flow Cytometry 2023.

The goal of this 2-track event is to highlight the innovations in these fields and bring forth elements of convergence of these fields in terms technology development and application areas.

Main Topic Areas Covered:

3D-Printing in Microfluidics
3D-Tissues and the Impact of Microfluidics
Additionally Other Areas of Innovation in Microfluidics will be Addressed

Presentations at this event from academic key opinion leaders, industry leaders as well as the tools and technology developers who are driving innovation in these fields.

There is a co-located exhibition where companies will showcase their product and service offerings and the goal of this event is to promote scientific exchange and networking.

The conference is held in downtown Seattle in close proximity to the various academic institutions, clinical research centers and companies.
