Methods and systems for biocellular marker detection and diagnosis using a microfluidic profiling device

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the use of microfluidic devices and systems to generate dynamic molecular signatures based on the detection of various biocellular markers. In particular, the present disclosure involves generating a dynamic molecular signature or profile using the cells of a subject (e.g., circulating monocytes), for various diagnostic and prognostic purposes, such as characterizing a disease or non-disease state, or predicting drug responsiveness. The microfluidic systems and methods of the present disclosure can be used to rapidly assess a plurality of clinical characteristics, which will ultimately enhance therapeutic efficacy and facilitate disease risk stratification.
