Biography
Revzin received his bachelor's degree from Wayne State University and his doctorate from Texas A&M University, with postdoctoral study at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. His research interests include microfabrication and nanotechnology for manipulation and analysis of cellular systems; single cell manipulation; biosensors for monitoring activity of individual cells; combinatorial screening of cell-microenvironment interactions; BioMEMS; biomaterials and surface science. In 2008, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Massachusetts for his work in recognizing and publicizing critical trends in interactions between humans and the environment.
Abstract
Using Surface Micropatterning Techniques for Analysis of Immune Cell Function
Revzin's presentation will discuss the clinical and diagnostic importance of blood analysis and developing novel miniature devices for rapid characterization of blood constituents. He will highlight applications of a cytometry platform for HIV diagnostics and monitoring.
