This presentation will describe the microfluidic methods we have developed for interfacing with biological systems at the single-cell level. These techniques range from the use of small micrometer sized channels to mimic small in vivo capillaries, the application of unique low-Reynold's number flow for exerting mechanical control over single cells, and our recent advances in droplet-based manipulation of single cells.
