The automated biological labs stand out because of the complexities and meanings in the
life science. The biological labs require a strict protocol of the experiment, and many …

One remarkable feature of the nervous system is its ability to rapidly and spontaneously
switch between activity states. In the extreme example of sleep, animals arrest locomotion …

Model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans are commonly used in discovering
theunderlying mechanisms of human diseases. The field of microfluidics enables a plethora …

[EN] This thesis focuses on the development of new automated techniques that allow the
inspection of Caenorhabidits elegans nematodes (C. elegans) in Petri dishes, for the …

This research reports on the development of low-cost and compact optofluidic add-on
devices for converting a conventional wide-field microscope to a light sheet fluorescence …

DNA damage response (DDR) is one of the main mechanisms, by which life counters
against exogenous and endogenous oxidative stress induced DNA damage. In an …

Developing robust behavioral assays to study olfactory-driven behaviors allows for greater
insight into the neural mechanisms behind them. Oftentimes, olfactory behavioral assays …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an attractive model organism, owing notably to its
short life cycle, genetic tractability, and optical transparency facilitating microscopic …
