YORBA LINDA, Calif., May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LabRoots, the leading scientific social networking website, offering premier, interactive educational virtual events and webinars, will be hosting its 3rd Annual Laboratory Testing & Automation Virtual Event, a free virtual conference for professionals interested in the most recent technologies for today's labs. Lab automation is a multi-disciplinary approach benefiting from technologies in the lab that facilitate new and improved processes. The conference will cover the following tracks: Life Sciences: Droplet Based Microfluids, Clinical Diagnostics, Empowering Laboratory Automation, and Next Generation Sequencing.
Laboratory Testing & Automation 2019, among all of LabRoots' events, allows attendees to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to them. Virtual events remove time and place restrictions and ensure that everyone who wants to participate can do so. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global automation community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions. During the notable one-day event, participants will be able to hear and learn from academia and industry experts from across the globe.
Among the experts, keynote speaker, Dino Di Carlo, PhD, Professor & Vice Chair, Department of Bioengineering, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, California NanoSystems Institute, Director, Cancer Nanotechnology Prog., University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will kick off the event and discuss "Quantum Diagnostics: From Single-Cells to Single-Molecules." Di Carlo's research pioneered the use of inertial fluid dynamic effects for the control, separation, and analysis of cells in microfluidic devices. Amid other honors, he has been awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development award.
"Working with LabRoots on preparing this seminar, and looking at the content that is going to be provided, it's been a great experience and I like the ability to reach this large audience," says Dino Di Carlo, Ph.D., UCLA.
Another keynote speaker, Amar Basu, Phd, Associate Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering with Joint Appointment in Biomedical Engineering, Track Lead on Smart Health in Cyber-Physical Systems, Wayne State University, will present on "Novel Computer Vision System for Integrated Biomolecule and Cell Assays" during the Life Sciences track. Basu conducts research at the Microfluidics and Bioinstrumentation lab at Wayne State University. He recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to support his work on microfluidic technologies that will help scientists conduct chemical, genetic and pharmacological tests more quickly.
Later in the day, participants will hear from keynote speaker and professor extraordinaire in the arena of microfluidics, David Issadore, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Electrical & Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, will lead discussion on "Disease with Rare Circulating Extracellular Vesicles: Finding Heterogeneous, Nanoscale Needles in a Nanoscale Haystack" during the Clinical Diagnostics track. Issadore's multidisciplinary approach on research enables his lab to explore new technologies to bring medical diagnostics from expensive, centralized facilities, directly to clinical and resource-limited settings.
