The use of smartphones has been integrated into our day-to-day life. Acquiring vital information is not yet implemented fully.

I knew using the micropipettes for regular cells, such as cancer cells, would not work with the intended cells. Therefore, I tried to make\/pull smaller tips in order to not disturbing the cell\u2019s functionality.

Each individual cell is responding to drugs and other manipulations differently. Current technologies require harvesting the cells for biomolecular analysis. As soon as we have a finding and would like to follow up on that lead. It means to go back to the same cell but that cell is not available anymore. Then we have to use a different cell that does not have exactly the same manifestation(s), simply comparing \u201capples with oranges\u201d. Using the cell populations, we are missing\/diluting the information from a few cells in the population which might be the most important information. A good synergy is cancer cells that only a few cells are resistant to drug treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Erika Zernickel:<\/strong> <em>Which new insights did you get when using the nanopipette technology for your own research?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Nader Pourmand:<\/strong> Using Nanopipette technology, we have observed and learned that there are rare and unique molecules in a different compartment of the cells that are not expected to be there.

As a product manager, I am responsible for the Yokogawa Life Innovation Business in Europe with the focus on our new Single Cellome Unit SU-10 and SS2000 as well as our confocal microscopy-based systems CSU-W1 and CSU-X1. Prior to joining Yokogawa, I was employed as a Scientific Researcher answering biological research questions by laser scanning confocal microscope techniques. With our blog, we want to inform about new and exciting developments in our business and we are looking forward to exchange ideas and opinions with you.","url":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/author\/erika-zernickel\/"}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature.jpg",2506,1288,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-300x154.jpg",300,154,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-768x395.jpg",768,395,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-1024x526.jpg",1024,526,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-1536x789.jpg",1536,789,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-2048x1053.jpg",2048,1053,true],"post-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/06\/nader-pourmand-bioengineering-feature-356x200.jpg",356,200,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Dr. Erika Medina","author_link":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/author\/erika-zernickel\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Today, Dr. Erika Zernickel had the honor to conduct an interview with Nader Pourmand who is a Professor of Molecular&hellip; &#8220;Bioengineering is an Emerging Field!&#8221; Read More &raquo;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/78"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1013,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621\/revisions\/1013"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokogawa.com\/eu\/blog\/life-innovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
