What is the Precision Diagnostics & Therapeutics focused research cluster?

The Precision Diagnostics & Therapeutics research cluster at Case Western Reserve University is discovering new ways to assess and treat human health and disease with customized, not one-size-fits-all, approaches.

Precision Diagnostics & Therapeutics brings together researchers from the Case School of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, and School of Medicine to tackle the biological complexity and biomedical technology translation in human health and disease.

Grounded in theranostics—the transdisciplinary approach to precision medicine that integrates therapeutics and diagnostics—the cluster’s research scope includes biomimetic cell and tissue engineering for applications as diverse as the development of biosynthetic blood surrogates, immunoengineering therapeutics, bio-inspired nanomedicine for disease-targeted therapies, microfluidic and microphysiological models of vascular diseases, and point-of-care blood diagnostic platforms.

Instrumentation, Tools and Resources

Hematology analysis platforms
Hemostasis, Thrombosis and Thromboinflammation analysis platforms
Dielectric coagulometry, Blood viscoelastometry
Multi-scale microfluidics to mimic vasculature
Epifluorescence and confocal microscopy
Cell culture and multicellular models of diseases
