Automatic, high-throughput single-cell analysis, a promising area in precision medicine and point-of-care testing, is the field that the CellFace group is currently exploring. This interdisciplinary project at the Technical University of Munich is dedicated to establishing digital, holographic flow cytometry as a label-free platform technology for cellular diagnostics. In doing so, it aims to advance the field and support clinicians in their decision-making in the future.
This book serves as an introduction to the CellFace ecosystem, its unique motivation, and the technology it leverages. It will cover the measurement scheme, the physical principles of holography, and the developed data standard, providing a comprehensive understanding of the technical core of the CellFace projects.
