Three laboratories of physics, nanotechnology and cancer biology of the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 are organizing the first workshop “Cancer Cells On-Chip: State of the Art and Future Developments” on June 11, 2012 on the campus of Rockefeller's Faculty of Medicine.

The purpose of this meeting at the interface between different disciplines is to stimulate new approaches to diagnosis and screening of cancer cells. Various technological approaches related but not limited to the phenotypic and functional analysis of cancer cells using microfluidic devices and other microsystems will be presented.

This meeting is for various scientific and medical communities: including doctors and cancer biologists, students and researchers in the fields of micro-nano-systems, biophysics and microfluidics. It will be organized in oral and poster sessions and facilitated by speakers from prestigious teams and leadership regarding the use of microsystems for cancer or other human diseases (see preliminary program).

It will be announced on various regional and national networks of cancer, nanomedicine, microtechnology and cancer: CLARA, OMNT, GDR...
