Balaji Panchapakesan, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and director of the Small Systems Laboratory, right, and post-doctoral researcher Farhad Khosravi with prototypes of a liquid biopsy chip they have developed and tested. The chip is able to capture circulating tumor cells in a very small sample of blood. It could become the basis for a simple and quick blood test for indicators of metastasizing cancers.
