Healthcare Devices
CellFACE
Cell-based fabrication and characterisation for next-generation healthcare devices.
About the Programme
CellFACE is an advanced platform pushing the boundaries of single-cell analysis. We integrate microfluidics, photonics, and artificial intelligence to extract highly specific cellular signatures in real-time, completely label-free.
These breakthroughs are pivotal in diagnostics, enabling earlier and much more accurate detection of pathologies like sepsis, deep vein thrombosis, and various cancers without depending on slow biochemical markers.
Key Objectives
TUMCREATE focuses on clinical translations and miniaturized hardware architectures for point-of-care testing.
- Develop label-free optofluidic microscopes measuring morphological and mechanical markers.
- Train deep learning algorithms that correlate mechanical properties with clinical outcomes.
- Miniaturize desktop analytics into robust diagnostic cartridges.
- Conduct rigorous clinical validation inside partner hospitals across Singapore.
