Automatically generated

Breast cancer cells exhibit different dielectric properties compared to non-tumor breast epithelial cells. It has been hypothesized that, based on this difference in dielectric properties, the two populations can be separated for immunotherapy purposes. To support this, we model a microfluidic device to sort MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells.
