Abstract

Tackling the Global Health Threat Posed by Fungal and Oomycete Diseases Using Lab-on-a-Chip Devices

Ayelen Tayagui, Research Fellow, University of Canterbury

Lab-on-a-Chip devices can enhance the study of disease-causing microorganisms and tackle their effects on global health.  We describe the design, manufacture and use of devices use to study the forces these organisms use to to infect their hosts.
