Mehmet Fatih Yanik,Turkish-born American engineer,holding his lab-on-a-chip worm sorter. Yanik is assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),USA. In 2007 he built the world's first lab-on-a-chip that could sort,screen and manipulate Caenorhabditis elegans worms at high speed and high volume. C. elegans is a nematode worm used by scientists to investigate biological phenomena such as ageing,metabolism and neurological diseases. Yanik's lab-on-a-chip speeds up the process of screening worms for drugs and genetics trials,which is normally done by hand. Photographed in 2009 | |
