Water Droplet Spun by Sound Screens for Colon Cancer
New platform separates biomarkers with a water droplet-based centrifuge that spins up to 6000 RPM, pushed only by sound waves
Duke engineers are deeply engaged in improving the health of humans and our environment — from understanding and ameliorating disease at the molecular and genetic level, to developing technologies to improve global health, to exploring the interconnections between human health and environmental quality. A hallmark of our approach is extensive collaborations with leading physicians and scientists at Duke’s School of Medicine and Nicholas School of the Environment.
