| 00:00 | Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) Measurements In a Drop of Blood
Daniel Irimia, Associate Professor, Surgery Department, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Shriners Burns Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, United States of America
The pathology of several conditions, from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and COVID-19 complications, acute kidney injury (AKI), liver failure, and stroke, to rheumatic diseases, atherosclerosis, and cancer is mediated by the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the circulation. Monitoring the levels of NETs in the blood of patients with these conditions is important for monitoring to progression of disease and for evaluating the efficacy of treatments that block the release of NETs or accelerate NETs degradation. However, the assays available today for measuring NETs are imprecise because they lose NETs during separation from blood, cannot distinguish between intact and degraded NETs, and are laborious and difficult to integrate in clinical studies. To circumvent the shortcomings of current assays, we developed a class of microfluidic devices that capture and measure intact NETs directly from blood samples. These devices rely on the physical properties of NETs rather than their biochemistry, which is the basis of current assays. Moreover, our devices can measure NETs in samples as small as a drop (10 microliters), measure the degradation rate of NETs in plasma, and study the trapping of microbes on NETs, processes that are important in pathology and cannot be evaluated using current assays. | 00:00 |  | Plenary Presentation Title to be Confirmed.

| 00:00 |  | Keynote Presentation Wet Parylene-based Sensors
Ellis Meng, Shelly and Ofer Nemirovsky Chair of Convergent Biosciences and Professor of Biomedical Engineering , University of Southern California, United States of America
The prevailing paradigm for transduction of physical parameters in wet environments is to encapsulate and protect sensing elements originally designed for use in dry environments. Examples include capacitive and piezoresistive sensors which may require additional protection when intended for use as implantable monitoring devices. This talk will describe an alternative strategy for sensing in which the underlying principle leverages the presence of the local liquid environment. Impedimetric sensing is particularly versatile and, when combined with microfabrication, can be adapted for a wide range of applications from force and pressure sensing to flow sensing. |
