Avanish Mishra, PhD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instructor<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avanish is an Instructor in Surgery at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. The central theme of Avanish\u2019s research is rare cell isolation from large sample volumes (tens of mL to hundreds of mL) for robust liquid biopsy-based cancer monitoring, early-stage diagnostics, and cell therapy manufacturing. Rare analytes, by definition, require large sample volumes to be processed to improve the statistical reliability of detection. He has more than 15 publications spanning PNAS, Trends in Biotechnology, Physical Review Fluids, Lab on a Chip, and ACS Nano.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Rabe, PhD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research Fellow<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel is a research fellow in the Stott Lab developing cell-specific microfluidic methods of extracellular vesicle (EV)  isolation to study the role of EVs in tumor-immune crosstalk as well as their utility as biomarkers. His long-term goal is to utilize this technology to understand how EV-based crosstalk leads to therapy resistance and metastasis in cancer. He is also leading a project to develop SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic and prognostic assays using microfluidics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
