"Tiny Test Tubes" for affordable microfluidic blood measurements at the point of need - Dr Alexander Edwards (University of Reading)

This video is the tenth talk from our two day Future Blood Testing: Challenges & Opportunities Event that took place on the 14/09/2022.

"Tiny Test Tubes" for affordable microfluidic blood measurements at the point of need - Dr Alexander Edwards (University of Reading)

Bio: Al Edwards has a background in fundamental immunology combined with expertise in biochemical engineering, he is an interdisciplinary researcher focussed on solving current and future healthcare challenges using an engineering science approach that combines a range of fields from biology, biochemistry, chemistry and physics. He works at the interface between academic technology discovery and industrial development and have experience of both fundamental research and the commercialisation of new technology. The two main challenges he currently works on are the development of affordable microfluidics for clinical diagnostics and microbiology, and the engineering science of complex biologic therapeutics such as vaccines. Alexander's research is funded from a wide range of sources, including NIHR , EPSRC, SBRI Healthcare, the Wellcome Trust, Innovate UK and industry
