INLers showcase 3DSecret technology at European Researchers’ Night in Braga
On 26 September, INL volunteers joined the European Researchers’ Night at Forum Braga, an event dedicated to bringing science closer to society. Visitors had the chance to explore label-free cell sorting based on size and deformability, one of the cutting-edge technologies used in the 3DSecret project.
This technique is being applied within 3DSecret to isolate circulating tumour cells from the blood of breast cancer patients, a crucial step for their study in advanced 3D models of metastasis. By engaging the public with live demonstrations, the INL team highlighted how innovative microfluidic tools are helping researchers better understand cancer progression and work towards improved treatments.
