Elodie Sollier-Christen, Vortex Biosciences, was selected as the 2017 Innovation Award Winner at SLAS2017 in Washington, DC, for her presentation, Vortex Biosciences Technology for Fast and Label-Free Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells from Blood Samples.
Vortex Biosciences has developed VTX-1, a fast and simple platform to isolate and collect intact circulating tumor cells (CTCs) directly from whole blood in less than 1.5 hours.
The team started with a technology developed in the lab of Professor Dino Di Carlo at UCLA. Vortex Biosciences was formed in 2012 to commercialize the technology.
In early 2014, Vortex and Accel Biotech formed a new collaboration to bring the system together for commercial launch. Accel Biotech brought to the collaboration their experience interfacing microfluidic cartridges to full instrument systems while Vortex Biosciences brought cell isolation technology.
