معرفی
Francis Lin is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba. His research focuses on biophysics, biomedical engineering, immunology, microfluidics, and cell migration mechanisms. He develops microfluidic tools for studying cell migration and trafficking, particularly in response to chemical and electrical cues. His work includes applications in chronic disease diagnosis and cancer therapy. Lin collaborates on projects involving microfluidic platforms for neutrophil chemotaxis analysis, bacterial toxin effects on immune cells, and the design of portable diagnostic devices. He leads research on electrotaxis, cell group dynamics, and the integration of microfluidics with smartphones for biomedical assays.
