1. Medical device development: Bioreactors for manufacture of stem-cell derived products Scaling from lab to clinic will require more efficient methods to propagate stem cells, direct differentiation and utilise expensive culture components such as cytokines and adhesion molecules. At the present time there are no cost-effective ways of producing transfusion products from blood stem cells. We have developed a bioreactor system with micro-channel (200 micron) architecture, to support high-density growth of haematopoietic cells (1-100 million cells/ml) in a low fluid shear environment. Future work will employ microfluidic manufacturing technology to develop microbioreactors for process optimisation. This is a multidisplinary program that draws on biomedical, electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering disciplines. 2. Lineage fate mapping by high-throughput live cell imaging. We are developing lab-on-a-chip devices for high throughput mapping of cell fate. These include microwell devices (shown above) for study of clonal development, as well as perfusion devices that simulate steady and pulsatile flow. We are currently using time-lapse video microscopy to track blood, endothelial and cardiac development. 3. Mathematical biology: Stochastic modeling of multipotent cell fate decisions Current understanding of multipotent cell fate is based on the culture of highly purified cell subsets and transplantation studies. Cell division and differentiation events are asynchronous. Precursor cells undergo multiple rounds of cell division and developmental stages before reaching a terminally differentiated cell type. To establish the relatedness of multipotent cells and their progeny it is necessary to keep track of lineage development. We have developed a flow cytometric approach to track cell division in vitro or in vivo. Cell generation number (number of mitoses) can be determined in addition to cell phenotype. This data is used to mathematically reconstruct cell differentiation pathways.
