Dr Shailender S. Kanwar is a Research Fellow at College of Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering at University of Michigan. He is currently working on the research projects involving bio-assay development for characterization of rare cancer cells and circulatory biological elements isolated from peripheral blood of cancer patients. Current project involves the application of various interdisciplinary biomedical and bioengineering approaches to develop microfluidics and Bio-MEMS based small sized (Lab-on-a-Chip) devices that can be used both as a diagnostic tool and a point-of-care device in standard health care settings. Dr Kanwar has also developed pre-clinical studies to validate cancer stem cells biomarkers of colon and breast cancers.
There is an urgent need for newer and better treatment strategies and technologies to diagnose and treat cancers at their onset and prevent further spreading. Through his current research endeavors at University of Michigan, Dr Kanwar is applying the best of basic science along with bioengineering tools to develop innovative technologies for developing prototypes for microfluidic isolation of circulating cancer stem cells and exosomes in their native forms from serum of cancer patients to be used for cancer biomarkers discovery.
