Simulation of magnetic active polymers for versatile microfluidic devices

We propose to use a compound of magnetic nanoparticles (20–100 nm) embedded in a flexible polymer (Polydimethylsiloxane PDMS) to filter circulating tumor cells (CTCs). The analysis of CTCs is an emerging tool for cancer biology research and clinical cancer management including the detection, diagnosis...
