While the early diagnosis of hematopoietic system disorders is very important in hematolgy, it is a highly complex and time consuming task. The early diagnosis requires a lot of patients to be followed-up by experts which, in general is infeasible because of the required number of experts. The differential blood counter (DBC) system that we have developed is an attempt to automate the task performed manually by experts in routine. In our system, the cells are segmented using active contour models (snakes and ballons), which are initialized using morphological operators. Shape based and texture based features are utilized for the classification task. Different classifiers such as k-nearest neighbors, learning vector quantization, multi-layer perceptron and support vector machine are employed.

A High throughput parylene microchannel coulter counter for cell sizing and cell counting applications / Laçin, Özgen Sümer; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In medical research, cell counting is of a great importance for the indication of the health status of the patients, diagnosis of the illness, and the detection of the progress of a disease. In clinics, cell counting and sorting is carried out by Coulter Counter devices, in which the electrical potential or resistance change is measured when the cells flow through the defined aperture. Coulter Counter devices perform rapid and accurate analysis of the biological particles in terms of their size and dielectr...
Automatic cell counting from microchannel images Ertürk, İzzet Fatih; Akar, Gözde; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2) Cell counting is an important method used in many fields such as disease diagnosis in medicine. For example, the number of white blood cells in the blood gives information that there is a disease in the body. There are manual and automatic methods developed for cell counting. Although manual methods take a lot of time and are prone to error, they are preferred in many areas because they are less expensive than other methods. However, automated cell counting methods such as flow cytometry have been developed...
An engineered pancreatic cancer model with intra-tumoral heterogeneity of driver mutations Moon, Hye-ran; Ozcelikkale, Altug; Yang, Yi; Elzey, Bennett D.; Konieczny, Stephen F.; Han, Bumsoo (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020-10-01) Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a complex disease with significant intra-tumoral heterogeneity (ITH). Currently, no reliable PDAC tumor model is available that can present ITH profiles in a controlled manner. We develop an in vitro microfluidic tumor model mimicking the heterogeneous accumulation of key driver mutations of human PDAC using cancer cells derived from genetically engineered mouse models. These murine pancreatic cancer cell lines have KPC (Kras and Trp53 mutations) and KIC genotypes ...
A validated active contour method driven by parabolic arc model for detection and segmentation of mitochondria Tasel, Serdar F.; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Hassanpour, Reza Z.; Perkins, Guy (2016-06-01) Recent studies reveal that mitochondria take substantial responsibility in cellular functions that are closely related to aging diseases caused by degeneration of neurons. These studies emphasize that the membrane and crista morphology of a mitochondrion should receive attention in order to investigate the link between mitochondria] function and its physical structure. Electron microscope tomography (EMT) allows analysis of the inner structures of mitochondria by providing highly detailed visual data from l...
A Fully Microfabricated Electrochemical Sensor and its Implementation for Detection of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Koydemir, Hatice Ceylan; Külah, Haluk; ALP, ALPASLAN; ÜNER, AYŞEGÜL; HASÇELİK, AYŞE GÜLŞEN; Özgen, Canan (2014-06-01) On-chip detection of biological analytes can enable diagnosis at the point of care. Combining the advantages of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology and molecular methods, we present the design of an integrated microfluidic platform, a microelectrochemical sensor (mu ECS), and its implementation for the detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. This platform is capable of electrochemically sensing the target analyte in a microfluidic reactor without the usage of bulky electrod...
