My name is Trang Nguyen and I am a postdoc in the lab of Gabriel Ichim at CRCL Lyon and we are interested in understanding apoptosis. We induce apoptosis with different optogenetic systems to study cancer cell progression.
Before using the optoWELL, we repurposed a simple light incubation chamber to stimulate our cell samples with blue light. This was great for our initial experiments, but now, we like to perform large scale experiments with different intensities and light programs at the same time. The optoWELL allows us to easily run several experiments in parallel.
